Twelve added to a number is equal to 10 subtracted from twice the number. Find the number.
22
Let the number be x.
Number obtained after adding twelve to this number = x + 12
Number obtained on subtracting 10 from twice the number = 2x - 10
As per the question,
x + 12 = 2x - 10
⇒ 2x - x = 12 + 10
⇒ x = 22
Therefore, the required number is 22.
