Five less than (subtracting 5) two times a number (multiplying unknown number, x, by 2) is equal to 7. Thus, the algebraic expression would be:
2x - 5 = 7

The number is -2 // Math [n is equivalent to number]: 2n -10 = 7n
2n = 7n + 10
-5n = 10
-n = 2
n = -2

7 tens=10,10=70
20 ones=1,1=20
which sum up to be 90
5 tens=50
13 ones=13
=63

91 is the number because 7x10 =70 +21=91

The answer is 90, because there are 7 tens, and 20 ones, that makes it 2 tens and zero ones.
