Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

ATQ

5x+16=2x+34

5x-2x=34-16

3x=18

x=6

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number is x.

5 times a certain number added to 16 = 5x + 16

Twice the number added to 34 = 2x + 34

According to the question,

5x + 16 = 2x + 34

=> 5x - 2x = 34 - 16

=> 3x = 18

$= > x = \frac{18}{3} \\ = > x = 6$
