Question

Five more than twice a number is 39. find the number

PLEASE HELP ME

Answer 1

17

I'm pretty sure this is right, but I'm not 100 % sure

39-5=34

34÷2

=17

Answer 2

The number is 17

Going backwards:

- subtract 5 (so now it`s 34)

- divide by 2 (so the number is 17)

Full statement: 5 more than (17 x 2) is 39.
