To Find,

The missing number =?

Solution,

Let the number be x

According to the question,

2x - 11 = 15

Simplifying this equation we get,

2x = 15 + 11

2x = 26

x = 26 / 2

x = 13

Hence, the number is 13.

Answer 2

The number was 13.

Let's solve the given problem:

Let's say the number is "x".

Twice the number will be = 2x

When I subtracted 11 from twice a number the result was 15, so we can write the equation as,

$2x - 11 = 15$

$\implies 2x = 15 + 11$

$\implies 2x = 26$

$\implies \bold{x = 13}$

Thus, the number is 13.
