Let's assume the number as 'x'
According to the problem, when it is doubled and 12 is added to it, the result is 40.
So, we can form an equation as:
2x + 12 = 40
Subtracting 12 from both sides, we get:
2x = 28
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
x = 14
Therefore, the number is 14.
When a number is doubled and 12 is added to it,the result is 40. Find the number
