Question

two more than twice a number is equal to 5 less than the number find the number​

Answer 1

Here, the condition is given that two more than twice a number is equal to 5 less than the number

Let the number be x

so, two more than twice a number  = 2x +2

     5 less than the number = x - 5

Now, according to question

2x + 2 = x - 5

 2x - x = -5 - 2

       x = -7

Hence, the number will be -7

Answer 2

Given: Two more than twice a number is equal to $5$less than the number.

We have to find the number.

We are solving in the following way:

We have,

Two more than twice a number is equal to $5$less than the number.

Let, assume the number will be'$x$'

From the given statement, we can write:

$2x + 2 = x - 5$

Solving the above equation further we get,

$=>2x-x=-5-2\\=>x=-7$

Hence, the number will be$-7$.
