  • 2x = 5 - 7

  • 2x = - 2

Answer:

-1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

Let the number be x

So, the equation will be

  • 2x +7 = 5
  • 2x = 5-7
  • 2x = -2
  • x = -2/2
  • x = -1

Verification:-

  • 2x +7 = 5
  • 2(-1) + 7 = 5
  • -2 +7 = 5
  • 5 = 5

[Thus, the original number is -1.]
