When you subtract 2 from a number, double the difference, and then add 7 you get 57. What is the number? And any explanation. Thank you

First off you do 57 - 7 which equals to 50. Then you take that 50 and divide it was 2 to get you 25. Now take 25 and add it to 2 to give you your final answer of 27.
Let the number be x
2(x-2) + 7 = 57
2x - 4 = 50
2x = 54
x = 27
2(x-2) + 7 = 57
2x - 4 = 50
2x = 54
x = 27
