Answer 1

2x=140

Explanation:

Let the number be x

3/5x=42

X=42×5÷3

X=210÷3

X=70

Multiplying both sides by 2, we get:

2x=140

Answer 2

140

Explanation:

Let the number be represented by x. You are given ...

(3/5)x = 42

Multiplying by 10/3 gives ...

(10/3)(3/5)x = (10/3)(42)

2x = 140 . . . . the value of twice the number
