10 more than 2 times a number is equal to 2 times the number plus 50. what is the number?

y = 40 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be y

10 more than 2 times a number = 10 + 2×y

equal to 2 times the number plus 50. = 2 × y + 50

10 + 2y = 2y + 50

combine the like terms

2y - 2y =50 - 10

0 = 40

the number supposes be 40 but the number is represented by 0

i think some thing is missing in your question

y supposes be 40 not 0 = 40

Hope this helps!

good luck!
