Let the number be X

when we add 2 it becomes

$\large{x+2}$

then we multiply the number by 5

$\large{5(x+2)}$

$\large{5x+10}$

The result comes out to be 30, then it is

$\large{5x+10=30}$

$\large{5x=30-10}$

$\large{5x=20}$

$\large{x=20/5}$

The number is

$\large{\bold{\boxed{verification}}}$

$\large{5x+10=30}$

$\large{5(4)+10=30}$

$\large{20+10=30}$
