Question

two is added to a certain number and this sum is doubled. the result is 36 less than the original number multiplied by 4. what is the number? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the certain number be X.

Now when we add 2 to X and double the sum, Weh get: 2(X+2)

This value is equal to 36 subtracted from 4 times of X that is: 4X-36.

So, the equation is;

2×(X+2) = 4X - 36

2X + 4 = 4X - 36

2X = 40

X=20
