Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

Then lets break down the statement step by step:

"5 times a number" ----> 5x

"2 more than 5 times a number" ---> 5x + 2

"2 more than 5 times a number is 22" ---> 5x + 2 = 22

simply solve for x :

5x + 2 = 22   (subtract 2 from both sides)

5x = 22 - 2

5x = 20   (divide both sides by 5)

x = 20/5 = 4
