Question

If you double a number and then add 36​, you get four elevenths

of the original number. What is the original​ number? Please help

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let the number be x

Double a number: 2x

Then add 36 to it: 2x +36

Four elevenths of the number:(4/11)x

`2x +36=(4)/(11)x\\\\2x=(4)/(11)x-36\\\\2x-(4)/(11)x=-36\\\\(2*11)/(1*11)x-(4)/(11)x=-36\\\\(22)/(11)x-(4)/(11)x=-36\\\\(18)/(11)x=-36\\\\x=-36*(11)/(18)\\\\x=-2*11\\\\x=-22`
