    x = - 5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    let the number be x

    "five times a number" : 5x

    "Six more than five times a number" : 5x + 6

    "twice the number" = 2x

    "Six more than five times a number = 2x - 9

    "Six more than five times a number" = "Six more than five times a number

    5x + 6 = 2x - 9

    5x - 2x = - 9 - 6

    3x = - 15

    x = - 15 / 3

    x = - 5
