Question

If you add two to twice a number, the result is twelve. What is the number? Enter only the number, no variable or equal sign.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number.

We have 2 + 2x = 12.

=> 2x = 10 (subtract 2 from both sides)

=> x = 5 (divide 2 on both sides)

Hence the number is 5.
