Answer:

Option b) -5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Twice of a number is equal to number decreased by five.

Let the number be x. Then, this can be written in the form of equation:

2\times x = x-5

Solving the above equation:

2\times x = x-5\\2x-x = -5\\x = -5

Hence, the number is x = -5.

The correct answer is given by the option b) -5.
