Set it up as an equation. "A number" is x.
2x-2=x+64
Move all of the x terms to one side by subtracting x from both sides, then add 2 to both sides to isolate x.
X=66
The number is 66
They can fit 24 tiles because
6 rows times 4 tiles =24 tiles
6x 4 =24
Find how much it will cost.
24 x 5 = 120
It will cost $120
25 is a composite number, and it is 5 squared. 25 = 1 x 25 or 5 x 5. Factors of 25: 1, 5, 25. Prime factorization: 25 = 5 x 5, which can also be written 25 = 5².
