<PRE><B>Question 1054248</B>
 If 7 is added to twice a number and this sum is multiplied by 5&amp;#8203;, the result is the same as if the number is multiplied by 5 and 10 is added to the product. What is the&amp;#8203; number.
------------------
5(2x+7) = 5x+10
----------------------
2x+7 = x + 2
x = -5
-------------
