Richard was thinking of a number. Richard adds 9.5 to the number, then doubles the result to get an answer of 59.4. Form an equation with x from the information.

The answer is 49.9 because he thought of a number and added 9.5 and the result was 59.4 then you should do 59.4-9.5 and the answer is 49.9
