Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

solving algebraically:

(x = the unknown number)

(our goal is to isolate x/get x by itself)

  2x + 5 = 5x - 16     {equation written out}

 -2x         -2x

        5 = 3x - 16

   + 16        + 16

      21 = 3x

    ÷3   ÷3

      7 = x

check:

(2)(7) + 5 = (5)(7) - 16

14 + 5 = 35 - 16

19 = 19

hope this helps!!
