Answer 1

Answer:

let the unknown number be 2x

then, 2x+5=29

2x=29-5

x=24/2

x=12

the unknown number is 2x12=24

Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be 'x'

Now twice of number x will be 2x

According to the question 5 is added.

So, adding 5 to the number we get, 2x +5

The result is 29.

So the equation will be

2x + 5 = 29

2x = 29 - 5

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12

Hence, the number is 12.
