You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If twelve is added to five times the number, the result 12%2B5x =
exceeds twice the number by twenty seven 2x%2B27
.
Our equation becomes: 12%2B5x=2x%2B27
.
Now you need to combine like terms and solve for x.
I suggest you group the x terms on the left and the integers on the right.
.
I'll let you do the algebra. You should come up with x=5.

Done! :)
