Twice a number increased by seven is equal to five. Which of the following represents the equation and solution for this statement? 2 n + 7 = 5; n = -4.5
2 n = 7 + 5; n = 6
2 n + 7 = 5; n = -1
2( n + 7) = 5; n = -4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to your question is the third option: 2n + 7 = 5; n = -1

"twice a number increased by 7" would represent 2n + 7, and if it's equal to 5, it would be 2n + 7 = 5. That rules out the last option, and the second option. Now, we have to solve for "n":

2n + 7 = 5         Step 1: Write the equation.

    2n = -2        Step 2: Subtract 7 from both sides.

      n = -1         Step 3: Divide both sides by 2.

Therefore, "n" is equal to -1, and the third option would be correct.
