Answer:

hey buddy here is your answer

hope it helps you

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the unknown number X, then the first part of your question is 25 minus 2 of the certain number, or 25 - 2X. The second part says this is equal to 5 + 6 times the certain number, i.e. 5 + 6X.

Hence 25 - 2X = 5 + 6X

Adding 2X to each side gives

25 - 2X + 2X = 5 + 6X + 2X

=> 25 = 5 + 8X

Subtracting 5 from each sides gives

25 - 5 = 5 + 8X - 5

=> 20 = 8X

Finally, dividing both sides by 8 gives

20/8 = 8X/8

=> X = 2.5
