Question

When a number is doubled and then added to 24,the result is 49

Answer 1

Answer:

Algebraic equation ; 2x+24 =49

x = 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the unknown number be x

$2(x) +24 =49\\\\2x +24 =49$

Collect like terms and simplify

$2x =49-24\\2x =25$

Divide both sides of the equation by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{25}{2} \\\\x = 12.5$
