Question

Find the number such that if 25 is subtracted from four times the number, the result is 5 less than twice the number.​

Answer 1

Solution :

The required number is 10

Step by step Explanation :

Let the number be x

According to the Question :

If 25 is subtracted from four times the number, the result is 5 less than twice the number.

$\sf\implies\:4x-25=2x-5$

$\sf\implies\:4x-2x=25-5$

$\sf\implies\:2x=20$

$\sf\implies\:x=\dfrac{20}{2}$

$\sf\implies\:x=10$

Therefore , Required Number is 10

_______________

Verification :

Number = 10

If 25 is subtracted from four times the number, the result is 5 less than twice the number.

$\sf\:4(number)-25=2(number)-5$

$\sf\implies\:4(10)-25=2(10)-5$

$\sf\implies\:40-25=20-5$

$\sf\implies\:15=15$

Hence , Verified

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

4x-25= 2x-5

2x=20

X= 10
