Answer:

x=8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation

2x+5=22

x represents he unknown number

Solve for x:

2x+5-5=22-5

2x=17

x=8.5

The number will be "x = 8.5".

According to the question,

The equation will be:

  • [tex]2x+5 =22[/tex]

By subtracting "5" from both sides, we get

→ [tex]2x+5-5=22-5[/tex]

→             [tex]2x =17[/tex]
