21 picks
altogether (2x+5x)=21
7x=21
x=3
2*3=6 orange picks

or
x=orange, y = greens
x+y=21
x/y=2/5,---->   y=5x/2
x+5x/2=21
2x/2+5x/2=21
7x/2=21
7x=42,
x=6  orange picks

Twice the difference of a number + -3 is 4 find the number
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we need to find the hidden number, Which for simplicity's sake we will denote as "n", lets first write out the equation.

"2 x [n + (-3)] = 4"

We can work through this problem backwards. if we need two times the sum of "n" and (-3) to get to 4, the only number that can be multiplied by 2 to get a product of 4 is 2, so "n" + (-3) must equal 2. so, From here, we can figure out that since 5 + (-3) equals 2, "n" Must equal 5. so, if we plug in 5 for "n" the equation looks like this:

"2 x [5 + (-3)] = 4"

So, since the equation makes sense, the answer is, "n = 5"
