a certain number and add 2, I get
the same answer as I do when I subtract the number

Answer:
Let the certain number be x.
3x + 2 = 50 - x
3x + x = 50 - 2
4x = 48
x = 48 ÷ 4
x = 12
Verification:-
LHS = 3x + 2
= 3 × 12 + 2
= 36 + 2
= 38
RHS = 50 - x
= 50 - 12
= 38
LHS = RHS hence, verified.
Thus, the certain number is 12.
