Ahay and Arun were playing number game. Ajay thought a number ,he doubled it and added 4. Arun also taken
same number and added 9 to this number. The result of Ajay and Arun was same. Suppose the number thought
by Ajay was x then Double + 4 = 2x + 4,
Arun just added 9 to number
so his result = x + 9,
