2x-5=25
2x = 30
x=15
x = 11
Thrice A number divided by five is three
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.
13 < 2n - 5 < 21
If the number is 'z', then five less than twice the number is ( 2z - 5 ).

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

Six times a number minus five is less than twice the number plus ten. 6 * n - 5 < 2 * n + 10 6n - 5 < 2n + 10 4n - 5 < 10 4n < 15 n < 15/4 This statement will hold true for all n < 15/4
