<PRE><B>Question 223878</B>
twenty seven increased by twice a number 39. what is the number?


Let number be N


Since 27 increased by twice the number equals 39, then we have:


27  +  2N  =  39


2N  =  39  -  27


2N  =   12


N  =  {{{12/2 = 6}}}, which means that N, or the number is:  {{{highlight_green(6)}}}.
