Let's write down what you said:

you double a number
2x

and then add 20,


2x+20

 you get 4/7 of the original number.

2x+20=4/7x.

we can get rid of the fractionby multiplying everything by 7:

14x+140=4x

and subtract 4x from both sides:

10x+140=0

move 120 to the other side:

10x=-140

and divide by 10

x=-14

and that's the answer!

8, because you’re doubling the numbers so 3x2=6 and 4x2=8.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) , thus

f(x) + g(x)

= 2x + 1 + x² - 7 ← collect like terms

= x² + 2x - 6 → C
