Answer 2

Answer :-

• The number is 12.

To find :-

• The number.  

Step-by-step explanation :-

 

Let the number be "x".

Then :-

• Twice the number will be "2x".

Adding 5 to twice the number :-

• We get 2x + 5.

According to the question :-

• 2x + 5 = 29.

Solving the equation :-

$\longrightarrow 2x + 5 = 29$

$\longrightarrow 2x = 29 - 5$

$\longrightarrow 2x = 24$

$\longrightarrow x = \dfrac{24}{2}$

$\longrightarrow x = 12$

Therefore :-

• The number is 12.

________________________________

Verification :-

• To check our answer, let's substitute the value of "x" in the equation and see whether LHS = RHS.  

LHS :

$\longrightarrow$ 2x + 5

$\longrightarrow$ 2 × 12 + 5

$\longrightarrow$ 24 + 5

$\longrightarrow$ 29

$\longrightarrow$ 29

LHS = RHS.

Hence verified!!
