Translate the sentence into an equation using n as the unknown number. Then solve the equation for n

Two times a number increased by 5 is 15.



a.


2n(5) = 15


n = 1.5


c.


2n + 5 = 15


n = 20



b.


2n + 5=15


n = 5


d.


n + 5 = 15


n = 10

Verified Answer :

The correct answer is b.

2n + 5=15

n = 5

This is because when you put the word problem into a numerical equation, you get 2n+5=15.  To simplify this, you subtract 5 from both sides, resulting in 2n=10.  Then you divide both sides by 2, and you get n=5.
