Question

When a number is added to of itself, the result is 24. The equation that models this problem is n + n = 24. What is the value n?

Answer 1

Well we know that what N stands for is 2 times N = 24 so we should do 24/2 =12 so the answer is N=12

Answer 2

Answer:  The required value of n is 12.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that when a number is added to of itself, the result is 24. The equation that models this problem is as follows :

$n+n=24~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

We are to find the value of n.

To find the value of n, we need to solve equation (i) as follows :

$n+n=24\\\\\Rightarrow 2n=24\\\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{24}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow n=12.$

Thus, the required value of n is 12.
