Question

A number is doubled and then increased by seven. The result is fifty-one. What is the original number?

Answer 1

Answer: I believe it's 22

Explanation:

51 - 7 = 44

If the result is 55 and was increased by 7, you'll subtract 7 from 55 and you'll get 44.

44/2 = 22

To find the number that is doubled and makes up 44, you'll divide 2 from 44 and you'll get 22
