x = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 4.

Given:

Twice a number subtracted from 5 times of the same number gives 12.

Solution:

Let the number be denoted as x.

Twice the number = 2x

5 times the number = 5x

Therefore twice a number subtracted from 5 times of the same number gives 12

Algebraic form is 5x – 2x = 12

3x = 12

X = 4.  

Result:

The number is 4.
