Answer: 2(x+5)=20

Explanation:

2 times the SUM of a number and 5... so that means we're multiplying 2 and two other numbers, so use parentheses. x can represent the unknown number.

2(x+5) <---- 2 times the WHOLE SUM of x and 5.

"is 20" meaning that entire thing is equal to 20.

so....

2(x+5)=20
