Ten more than twice the number of birds on the fence is 50. How many birds are on the fence? Let's be accurate as possible.
Let x be the number of birds on the fence. We know that 10 + 2 * x = 50. Subtracting 10 from both sides, we get 2 * x = 50 - 10 = 40. Dividing both sides by 2, we get x = 20.
The answer: 20.
