Two times a number increased by $5$ equals $9.$ Find the number.
✓
Answer
Let the number be $x.$
It is given that two times this number increased by $5$ equals $9$.
$\therefore 2x + 5 = 9$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 9 - 5$
$\Rightarrow 2x = 4$
$\Rightarrow x = 2$
$[$dividing both sides by $2]$
Hence, the required number is $2.$
