It is given that a number is doubled and 5 is subtracted from the result, the result is 37.
Let the number be x
If it is doubled then = 2x
5 subtracted from the result.
The final expression will be written as:-
2x - 5
Solving the above expression for the value of x.
2x - 5 = 37
2x = 37 + 5
2x = 42 Divide both sides by 2
2x/2 = 42/2
x = 21
Hence, the required number will be 21.
