Question

One more than double a number and five more than double a number is 74, what is the number?

Answer 1

x = 17

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

ATQ,

one more than double a number and five more than double a number is 74,

1+2x+5+2x = 74

We need to find the value of x.

Subtract 6 from both sides,

6+4x-6 = 74-6

4x = 68

x = 17

Hence, the value of x is 17.
