Answer:

2x + 2 = 150

Explanation:

Let the number be y.

From the question given above,

Twice the number can be written as follow:

2y

Also,

The sum of twice the number and two divisible by 5 equals 30.

This can be written as follow:

(2y + 2) ÷ 5 = 30

Finally, we shall express the above equation in a more simplified form as follow:

(2y + 2) ÷ 5 = 30

(2y + 2) × 1/5 = 30

Cross multiply

2x + 2 = 5 × 30

2x + 2 = 150

Therefore, the simplified equation for the above question is 2x + 2 = 150
