Question

The successor of a certain number when added to twice the number produces 61. What is the number?

Answer 1

Lets see, If "n" represents the number, then "the successor of a certain number" is n+1. Now if "Twice the number" is 2n now for the expression "The successor of a certain number when added to twice the number" would then be 2n+n+1, which the problem stated is equal to 61 Therefore we can say that the correct option would be 2n+n+1=61
