Answer 2

Required Answer :

As per the provided information in the given question, we have the sum of a number and double of itself is 165. We've been asked to calculate the number.

Basically, in order to calculate the number we have to frame an equation as per the given question.

Let us assume the number as "x". Now, if the number is x, then it's double will be 2x.

According to the question, the sum of a number and double of itself is 165. Writing this statement in the form of an equation,

$\implies \rm { Number + 2(Number) = 165} \\ \\ \implies \rm { x + 2x = 165} \\ \\ \implies \rm { 3x = 165} \\ \\ \implies \rm { x= \cancel{\dfrac{165}{3}} } \\ \\ \implies \boxed{\bf { x = 55 }}$

Therefore, the number is 55.
