Answer 1

1. x + 5 = 12

2. 2x = 54

Explanation:

Let

The unknown number = x

1. The sum of a number and 5 is 12.

x + 5 = 12

x = 12 - 5

x = 7

2. Twice a number is 54

2x = 54

x = 54/2

x = 27

3. Thrice a number increase by 2 is less than 50.

3x + 2 < 50

3x < 50 - 2

3x < 48

x < 48/3

x < 16

4. One half the sum of a number and 4 is less than 28.

1/2(x + 4) < 28

5. A number increased by one-third of the number is 5.

x + 1/3x = 5
