her original number was 37
Larger plantations called for more workers. As a result, the number of slaves in the South nearly doubled from 700,000 to 1,200,000 by the mid-1800s.
So the original number was greater than 8...
Suppose the number is N.Then (N + 4)*2 = N + 20that is, 2N + 8 = N + 20subtracting N from both sides gives: N + 8 = 20subtracting 8 from both sides gives: N = 12.
One result from the Louisiana Purchase was that it doubled the size of the United States. The second result of the Louisiana Purchase is that it increased the economy for the United States with farming, gold, silver, and other resources.
The final result is 10.4% more than the original number.

let x be the number, then: (x + 1) × 2 + 5 = x + 1 → 2x + 2 + 5 = x + 1 → 2x + 7 = x + 1 → 2x - x = 1 - 7 → x = -6 The number is -6. Checking: -6 +1 = -5; 5 × 2 = -10; -10 + 5 = -5 which is the same as -6 + 1 = -5.
