Uche think of a number add 7 to it and double the result. Is final answer is 34 what's the original

Answer 1

Let's denote the original number Uche thinks of as \( x \). According to the problem, Uche adds 7 to \( x \) and then doubles the result. The equation can be set up as follows:

1. Add 7 to \( x \): \( x + 7 \)
2. Double the result: \( 2(x + 7) \)

We are given that this final result equals 34:

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

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

1. Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

\[ x + 7 = 17 \]

2. Subtract 7 from both sides:

\[ x = 17 - 7 \]

\[ x = 10 \]

So, the original number Uche thought of is \( \boxed{10} \).
