Answer:
Let x = the number. Then you have:
2x + 14x = 48 Collect like terms
16x = 48 Divide both sides by 16
x = 3

The number that satisfies the given statement is 3.
We are given that twice a number increased by the product of the number and 14 results in 48.
We will find the value of the number that we used in the given above statement.
Increased means addition.
Product means multiplication.
Results mean equal to sign.
Let's write the given statement in equation form.
Consider P = the number
Twice a number = 2P
Increased = +
Products of the number and 14 = P x 14
Results in 48 = equals 48.
Combining all the above we get,
2P + P x 14 = 48
2P + 14P = 48
16P = 48
P = 48 / 16
P = 3
Thus the number that satisfies the given statement is 3.
