x = 11
Thrice A number divided by five is three
2x-5=25 2x = 30 x=15
are you asking for solutions to 5x + 5 = 2y? (x,y) = (1,5), (3,10), (5,15), etc.

The expression for "five less than twice x" can be written as (2x - 5). Here, (2x) represents twice the value of (x), and subtracting 5 indicates that we are taking five away from that amount.
If the number is 'z', then five less than twice the number is ( 2z - 5 ).

The number is 7.
If the number is N then 2N - 5 = 7 then 2N = 12 so that N = 6
Let the number be x Twice a number means 2x 7 less than twice a number means 2x-7
