Answer 1

Answer:

let the number be x

the equation according to question is.....

2x + 8 = 50

2x = 50 - 8

2x = 42

x = 42/2

so, x = 21

hope this helps you...

Step-by-step explanation:

so the number is 21

for verify

2(21) + 8 = 50

42 + 8 = 50

50 = 50.........

hope this helps you.....

Answer 2

Given - When 8 is added to two times a number, the result is 50

Find - Number

Solution - Let us assume the number to be x. So, the mathematical expression that will form is 2x + 8. As per the question, the result of this expression is 50.

Finally representing complete equation in mathematical form, we get -

2x + 8 = 50

Now, subtracting 8 from 50 -

2x = 50 - 8

2x = 42

Finally, dividing the resultant value by 2.

x = 21.

Hence, the number to be found in question is 21.
