Let the number be ( x ). The equation can be set up as ( 2x - 7 = -5 ). Adding 7 to both sides gives ( 2x = 2 ), and dividing by 2 results in ( x = 1 ). Thus, the number is 1.
Let the number be x Twice a number means 2x 7 less than twice a number means 2x-7
If the number is 'z', then five less than twice the number is ( 2z - 5 ).
Any number that is less than 0. Any rational irrational or integral number that is less than 0 is considered negative.
nio, it is not; a negative number is always less than a positive number.
A smaller negative number is any negative number that is closer to zero than another negative number. In simpler terms, a negative number with a smaller absolute value is considered smaller. So, for example, -3 is smaller than -5 because 3 is less than 5. Hope that clears things up for you!

A negative number is less than a positive number. Think about it this way: a negative number is less than 0. A positive number is greater than 0. Therefore, a negative number must be less than a positive number.
A negative number is less than zero.
There are an infinite group of negative numbers where if you were to double them and add 3 that they would add up to less than -15. for instance -12*2+3= -21
A negative number is less than zero.
Let the number be x Twice a number means 2x 7 less than twice a number means 2x-7
That's a negative number.
A negative number is less than its absolute value.
Yes because a negative number is always less than a positive number
