Question 1161951: 7 is added to 3 times a number the result is then doubled if the answer is 68 find the number

the number you started with: x
3 times that number: 3x
7 added to 3 times the number: 3x+7
the result doubled: 6x+14
The final result is 68:
6x+14 = 68
6x = 54
x = 9
The number you started with was 9.
CHECK:
9
3 times 9 = 27
7 added to 27 = 34
34 doubled = 68
