Question

If a number is added to 2 and multiplied by 5 the answer is 120 . find the number.​

Answer 1

Here it is given that when a number is added to two and multiplied by 5 then the answer comes out to be 120

We have to find the number

Let us assume the number to be x

Then the condition can be mathematically represented as

( x + 2 ) 5 = 120

We will simplify this equation to find the value of x

( x + 2 ) 5 = 120

x + 2 = 120 / 5

  x + 2 = 24

       x = 24 - 2

      x = 22

Hence, the number will be 22

Answer 2

To find : missing number  

Given : number is added to $2$ and multiplied by $5$ the answer is $120$ .

Solution :

• Let the missing number be $x$ .
• According to question we are given that number is added to $2$ and multiplied by $5$ the answer is $120$ therefore , we write given condition as ,
• $( x + 2 ) 5 =120$

         $(x + 2 ) 5 = 120 \\5x + 10 = 120 \\5x = 120 - 10\\x = \frac{110}{5} \\x = 22$

Hence , missing number is $22$ .
