Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 30.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we take the number to be x. So, the number twice or two times of x is 2x and after adding 36 to the number we will get that (2x +36). Now, in the question it is said that this value is equal to the number which is four less than the century, so, the number must be 96.

According to the explanation w can form the equation to be 2x+36=96  .

2x=96-36 .

2x=60 .

x=60/2 .

x=30.
