Question: If 5 is added to twice a number, the result is 29. Determine the number.
(A) 12
(B) 11
(C) 10
(D) 20
Solution
The equation for the given statement is 5+2x = 29.
To find the number “x”, we have to solve the equation.
⇒ 2x = 29 – 5
⇒ 2x = 24
⇒ x = 24/2
⇒ x = 12
Hence, the required number is 12.
