Question

When 64 is added to the number that is produced by doubling the number x, the result is equal to 35 times the number that 1 less than x. What is the value of x?

Answer 1

64+(2x)=35(x-1)
expand
64+2x=35x-35
minus 2x from both sides
64=33x-35
add 35 to both sides
99=33x
divide both sides by 33
3=x
the number is 3
