If 7 is subtracted from five times a certain number, the result is 35 more than twice the number. Find the number.

$<u>Solution -</u>$

Let the number be 'x'.


Then, according to the question,

7 subtracted from five times x = 35 more than twice x

=> (5 × x) - 7 = 35 + (2 × x)

=> 5x - 7 = 35 + 2x

=> 5x - 2x = 35 + 7

=> 3x = 42

=> x = 42/3

=> x = 14

$<marquee>Hence, the number = x = 14</marquee>$
