Question

i guess this is easy ......... pls solve it !!!

Answer 1

Let the number be x.
It is given that 5x-5=2x+4
So, we have to solve the equation.
=>5x-2x=5+4
=>3x=9
=>x=9/3
=>x=3

So the number is 3.


If you want to be sure that the answer is correct, then just put the value of x in the equation.
=>5x-5=2x+4
=>5×3-5=2×3+4
=>15-5=6+4
=>10=10

So, now we are sure that the answer is correct.
I hope that the answer helps you.
