Let us represent the number as x:
16 is added to a number is represented as:
[tex]16+x[/tex]The result been 35 less than twice the number is represented as:
[tex]2x-35[/tex]Combining the above expression together to find the number will be:
[tex]16+x=2x-35[/tex]Simplifying further:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 16+35=2x-x \\ 51=x \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]The number, therefore, is 51
