Answer:

If twice the opposite of a number increased by five, then the result is the opposite of a number.

The asiest way to solve this is the guess and check method. It is asking you what a number doubled then by adding five is the opposite of that number. Now go through a few SINGLE digit numbers to try and solve. I hope this helps.
