    The number is 33.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    A number: x

    Twice a number: 2x

    6 more than twice a number: 2x + 6

    is: =

    72: 72

    Put it all together to get the equation:

    2x + 6 = 72

    Subtract 6 from both sides.

    2x = 66

    Divide both sides by 2.

    x = 33

    The unknown number will be (x)

    2x+6=72

    2x+6-6=72-6

    2x/2=66/2

    x=33

    OR

    x = (72-6) / 2=33
