Let's denote the number as x. When the number is doubled, we get 2x. According to the information given, 2x = 48. To find the value of x, we can divide both sides of the equation by 2: x = 48 / 2 = 24. Therefore, the number is 24.

Well, isn't that a happy little math problem we have here! If we want to find the original number that was doubled to get 48, all we need to do is divide 48 by 2. So, the number you are looking for is 24. Just like painting, sometimes all we need is a little bit of math to reveal the beauty hidden underneath.

Assuming that the phrase "doubled by 2" is tautological, the expression for a number multiplied by 2 (or a number doubled) is 2n.
If the number is doubles its total is doubled since its total is itself!
A case could be made for any of them, but let's go with 48. The pattern is doubled, plus three, doubled, plus three, etc.
