Five more than two times a number is 11.

1 answer

Let's call the number "x".

"Five more than two times a number" can be translated as: 2x + 5

"Is" means "equals"

"So 11" means "11"

So the equation becomes:

2x + 5 = 11

Now we can solve for x:

2x = 11 - 5

2x = 6

x = 3

Therefore, the number is 3.
