Two times a number, plus five, equals the number, minus five.

Find the number and type it in the box.

Answer:

Answer 1

x= -5

Explanation:

let the number be x.

2x+5= -5 ====> equation

2x= -5-5. (shifted the +5 to the other side)

2x= -10

x= -10/2 ( shifted 2 on the other side as it was multiplying with x)

x= -5
