Suppose the number is N.
Then (N + 4)*2 = N + 20
that is, 2N + 8 = N + 20
subtracting N from both sides gives: N + 8 = 20
subtracting 8 from both sides gives: N = 12.

The number is 121/2.
x+8+x/5 = 20 x = 10

Suppose the number is x. Then 2*x + 8 = 34 Subtract 8 from both sides: 2*x = 26 Divide both sides by 2: x = 13

The number is 121/2.

A natural number is doubled when added to its reciprocal. Find that number!
a number increased by -22 is 45. find the number
x+8+x/5 = 20 x = 10

Any number when doubled becomes even. Thus the key part of the question is identifying a 3 digit even number that you can add 2 to to become a 4 digit number. The answer is 998. Thus to find the original number we need to do 998/2. This calculates to 499.
