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.

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.
