Answer:
The number is 4.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
two times the sum of nine and a number is six greater than five times the same number.
Let,
x be that number
According to given statement;
2(9+x) = 5x + 6
18 + 2x = 5x + 6
18 - 6 = 5x - 2x
12 = 3x
3x = 12
Dividing both sides by 3
[tex]\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{12}{3}\\x=4[/tex]
Hence,
The number is 4.
