Answer:

11

Explanation:

METHOD 1:

Solve the equation:


2n+5=27 subtract 5 from both sides


2n+5-5=27-5


2n=22 duvude both sides by 2


(2n)/(2)=(22)/(2)\\\\n=11

METHOD 2:

Put each value from the replacement set to the equation, and check for equality:

for x = 11:


2(11)+5=22+5=27 CORRECT

for x = 12:


2(12)+5=24+5=29\\eq27

for x = 13:


2(13)+5=26+5=31\\eq27
