Question 126509
let the number equal x

Product (multiply)
{{{6x=2x+5}}}

Now just solve for x

Minus 2x from both sides
{{{6x-2x=2x-2x+5}}}={{{4x=5}}}

Divide both sides by 4
{{{4x/4=5/4}}}={{{x=5/4}}} or 1.25

PROOF
Substitute 1.25 in for x and simplfy

{{{6*1.25)=2*1.25+5}}}

Simplfy the multiplication
{{{7.50=2.5+5}}}

simplfy the addition
{{{7.50=7.50}}}
