Question

13 is added to the double of a number find the number If the sum is 37

Answer 1

Let Number = x

13 + 2x = 37
2x = 24
x = 12

Answer 2

Let's call the unknown number "x." According to the information given:

1. Double of the number is 2x.
2. 13 is added to the double of the number, resulting in 2x + 13.
3. The sum is 37.

So, we can set up an equation:

2x + 13 = 37

Now, we'll solve for x:

Subtract 13 from both sides: 2x = 24

Divide both sides by 2: x = 12

Therefore, the number is 12.
