Question

A number is doubled and then increased by 3. The result is 95. What is the original number?

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 46

Step-by-step explanation:

n = number

doubled

2n

increased by 3

2n+3

is 95

2n+3 = 95

Solve

2n+3=95

Subtract 3 from each side

2n+3-3=95-3

2n = 92

Divide each side by 2

2n/2 = 92/2

n =46

Answer 2

Answer:

$n = 46$

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Make an expression

$2n + 3 = 95$

Step 2:  Subtract 3 from both sides

$2n + 3 - 3 = 95 - 3$

$2n = 92$

Step 3:  Divide both sides by 2

$2n / 2 = 92 / 2$

$n = 46$

Answer:  $n = 46$
