Equation
Answer

Answer 1

Answer: 2x+5=75. X=35.

Step-by-step explanation: Let’s make the number x. It says twice the number. So that would be x times 2 or two x. Then the sum of twice a number and five. So it would be 2x+5. That equals to 75. So the equation would be 2x+5=75. Then to solve it, subtract five from both sides. 2x=70. Then divide the whole thing by two. X=35.
