The answer is going to be 7 or X=7. Here is how that conclusion came to be. Five less than twice a number is 9; here is the mathematical sentence we created to represent the statement:
2X-5=9 now lets work it.
2X-5+5=9+5
2X=14 , lets divide boyh sides of the equation by 2.
2X/2=14/2
X=7 Now lets prove this number represents X.
2(7)-5=9
14–5=9
9=9
