Answer :

Hello there. To solve this question, we'll have to remember how to translate a statement to a mathematical equation and then solve the equation for a number.

Twice a number increased by 7 is 35. We want to find that number.

In this case, say this number is n.

Twice this number is the same as multiplying this number by 2, hence

[tex]2n[/tex]

Now increasing it by 7 is the same as adding 7 to the expression, therefore

[tex]2n+7[/tex]

And this must be equal to 35

[tex]2n+7=35[/tex]

Now we have to solve this equation for n.

Subtract 7 on both sides of the equation

[tex]2n=28[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by a factor of 2

[tex]n=14[/tex]

This is the number we're looking for.
