Answer:16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be X

Twice the sum of a number and 5

= 2X+5

Three times the difference of the number and 2

= 3(X - 2)

Since Twice the sum of X and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the X and 2, This means

2(X + 5 )= 3(X - 2)

2X +10 = 3X - 6

3X -2X = 10 + 6 = 16

X = 16

Check

2×(16+5) =3×(16-2)

2×21 = 3×14

42 = 42
