When a number is doubled and then increased by 20, the result is 5 less than 3 times the number. What is the number?

The number is equal to 25.

To write the word problem as an algebraic equation:

In this exercise, we are required to translate the word problem into a mathematical (algebraic) expression and solve for the unknown variable (number):

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

A number is doubled and then increased by 20:

  ...equation 1.

The result is 5 less than 3 times the number:

 ...equation 2

Equating the two equations, we have:
