Answer:
No problem! Well first off, x is 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
So you know that 2 times a certain number, plus 5, is 25. The first step to solving this problem is subtracting 5 from the total (25) to give you 20. This just makes it easier to find x, so you technically don't have to do it. So now, you know that 2 times a certain number equals 20 (because we got rid of the 5). Now, just divide your number (20) by 2, to get that x is 10. Let's check our answer.
2(10) + 5= 25
20 + 5= 25
25= 25.
