What is an expression?
Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
Numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping can all be represented by mathematical symbols, which can also be used to indicate the logical syntax's order of operations and other features.
Given that five times, the difference between a number and 2 is the same as 2 increased by five times the number plus twice the number. Let the required number be n.
The number will be calculated as below:-
5(n-2) = 2+5n + 2n
5n - 10 = 2 + 7n
Combining like terms, we get:
-12 = 2n,
n = -6.
Therefore, the required number will be equal to -6.
