The number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

then according to given statement

$2(x+2) = 5x-17$

Simplifying

$2x+4 = 5x-17$

Adding 17 on both sides

$2x+4+17 = 5x-17+17\\2x+21 = 5x$

Subtracting 2x from both sides

$2x+21-2x = 5x - 2x\\21 = 3x\\3x = 21$

Dividing both sides by 3

$\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{21}{3}\\x = 7$

Hence,

The number is 7
