Question

I
Uche thinks of a number,add7 to it and double the result.
His final answer is 34 what is the original

Answer 1

Let the original number Uche thinks of be \( x \).

According to the problem, Uche adds 7 to the number and then doubles the result:

\[
2(x + 7) = 34
\]

Now, we can solve for \( x \).

1. Divide both sides by 2:

\[
x + 7 = 17
\]

2. Subtract 7 from both sides:

\[
x = 17 - 7
\]

\[
x = 10
\]

So, the original number Uche thinks of is \( 10 \).
