Question

If 23 is added to a number, the result is 41 less than twice the number. Find the number.

Answer 1

64

Explanation:

Let x represent the number.

x + 23 represents 23 added to the number.

2x - 41 represents 41 less than twice the number.

Set these expressions equal to each other and solve for x to find the number:

x + 23 = 2x - 41

23 = x - 41

64 = x

So, the number is 64
