Answer:
Let the number be x.
Twice a number means 2x
then,
five more than twice a number means 2x+5
As per the given condition:
[tex]2x+5=17[/tex]
Subtract 5 from both sides of an equation;
2x+5-5=17-5
Simplify:
2x = 12
Divide by 2 from both sides of an equation;
[tex]\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{12}{2}[/tex]
Simplify:
x =6
Therefore, the value of x is 6
