Yes
To find the number, let's break down the problem and solve it step by step.
Let's call the unknown number "x."
According to the problem, when we double the number (2x) and add 14, the result is 36.
So, we can create an equation: 2x + 14 = 36.
To solve for x, we will isolate the variable on one side of the equation.
First, we subtract 14 from both sides of the equation: 2x + 14 - 14 = 36 - 14, which simplifies to 2x = 22.
Next, we solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 2: (2x)/2 = 22/2, which simplifies to x = 11.
Therefore, the number is 11.
