Question

Twice a certain number is tripled. The resulting number is _____.

Answer 1

There doesn't appear to be an answer for this problem, as you do not have an x value, but what you do know is:

Twice (times 2) a certain number (x) is tripled (times 3), or 2(3x), or 6x. 

The resulting number is 6 times its original.

Answer 2

Answer:

The resulting number is 6 times the original number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the original number be x.

Now, if we twice this number x then we have the number as: 2x

and now this number is tripled.

This means that the resulting number is given by:

3(2x)=6x

Hence, the resulting number is 6 times the original number x.
