Answer 2

Answer:

${\sf{\boxed{\underline{\underline{Number=4}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Given:

we have to subtract twice of the number from the 5 times of it, which will give us 12.

So,

5 times of the number = 5x

and two times of the no. = 2x

We got equation -

5x - 2x = 12

Solution:

⇒ $\sf5x-2x=12$

⇒ $\sf3x=12$

⇒ $\sf x=\frac{12}{3}$

⇒ $\sf x=4$

So, the value of x is 4.
