The required number is 19 given that -2 is added to a number, the sum is doubled and the result is -15 less than the number. This can be obtained by assuming the number as x, converting the given conditions to algebraic expression, forming algebraic equation and solving for x.
<h3>Find the required number:</h3>
Here in the question it is given that,
- The result is -15 less than the number
We have to find the required number.
Let the required number be x.
⇒ -2 is added to the number ⇒ -2 + x
⇒ the sum is doubled ⇒ 2(-2 + x)
⇒ the result is -15 less than the number ⇒ 2(-2 + x) = x -(-15)
2(-2 + x) = x + 15
⇒ - 4 + 2x = x + 15
⇒ x = 19
Hence the required number is 19 given that -2 is added to a number, the sum is doubled and the result is -15 less than the number.
