Krutika was thinking of a number. Krutika doubles it and adds 8.7 to get an answer of 64.9. Form an equation with x from the information.

1. The number we start with is x.
2. Double it means we multiply by 2: 2x
3. Add 8.7: 2x + 8.7
4. Get an answer means we have an equation, so we set (3) above equal to 64.9
5. 2x + 8.7 = 64.9
