What is 7 less than the product of twice a number is greater than 5

In mathematical expression, the equation then becomes 7 - 2n = 5

The next procedure is to find the unknown.

1. 7 - 2n = 5

2. - 2n = 5 - 7

3. - 2n = - 2

4. n = - 2/-2

5. n = 1

Check:

Substitute n = 1

7 - 2 (1) = 5

7-2 = 5

5=5
