Full solution

Q. two more than the product of a number and 55 is 77
  1. Write Equation: Let's call the number we're looking for ' extit{x}'. The problem says two more than five times this number is seven. So, we can write this as an equation: 5x+2=75x + 2 = 7.
  2. Isolate 'x': Now, we need to solve for 'x'. First, subtract 22 from both sides of the equation to isolate the term with 'x'. So, 5x+22=725x + 2 - 2 = 7 - 2, which simplifies to 5x=55x = 5.
  3. Solve for 'x': Next, divide both sides of the equation by 55 to solve for 'x'. So, 5x5=55\frac{5x}{5} = \frac{5}{5}, which gives us x=1x = 1.
