The product of a certain number and 5 is equal to twice the number subtracted from 20 find the number

Answer 1

x = number

The product of a certain number and 5 is equal to twice the number subtracted from 20 means:

x ∙ 5 = 20 - 2 x

5 x = 20 - 2 x

Add 2x to both sides

7 x = 20

x = 20 / 7

Answer 2

2/6 /7
