Please help me with this math problem.?

Question

The sum of 38 and twice a number is 124. Find the number.

Answer 1

124-38=86

86/2=43.       43. Is the answer

Answer 2

if n is the number you are looking for then

38+2n=124

now just solve

2n=86

n=43

the number is 43

Answer 3

"The sum" = addition

"Twice" = multiply by 2

"a number" = x (for instance)

"is" = equals

So,

38 + 2x = 124

You should be able to solve that.

Answer 4

It's pretty much like Algebra.

The equation would be 38+x=124.  The number is 43.  43*2=86.  38+86=124.
