Question

if twice the opposite of a number us increased by 5, the result is the opposite of the number. What is the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

If twice the opposite of a number increased by five, then the result is the opposite of a number.    

The asiest way to solve this is the guess and check method. It is asking you what a number doubled then by adding five is the opposite of that number. Now go through a few SINGLE digit numbers to try and solve. I hope this helps.
