Answer:Hi,

Let the number be x

Twice the number is 2x

Five less than twice the number is 2x-5, which is given as 9

Therefore, 2x-5 = 9

or, 2x = 9+5

or, 2x = 14

or x=7

Thus the number is 7.

$7d + d - 4d - 7 = 5d$

$8d - 4d - 7 = 5d$

$4d - 7 = 5d$

$5d = 4d - 7$

Subtract sides 4d

$- 4d + 5d = - 4d + 4d - 7$

$d = - 7$

Thus the correct answer is Option three.
