You can rephrase this question as an equation. If you call the number "n", then we can say:

(n + 7) / 2 = 5

Then we can solve it from there:

(n + 7) / 2 = 5

Multiply both sides by two:

2 * (n + 7) / 2 = 5 * 2

n + 7 = 10

Now subtract seven from both sides:

n + 7 - 7 = 10 - 7

n = 3

So the answer is three.

Why does all evennumbers have 2 as factor?

Because that is the definition of an even number - one that is divisible by 2, that is, one that has 2 as a factor.All even numbers can be divided equally by 2. That is, when divided by 2, any even number will result in a whole number, exactly 1/2 of the original number. That number, when multiplied by 2 will always result in the original even number. This does not hold true for odd numbers.
