    You can put this problem into an equation:

    2x=60+5x

    Step 1: Subtract 5x form both sides.

    -3x=60

    Step 2: Divide - 3 by both sides.

    x=-20

    Let's check our work:

    2 (-20) = 60+5 (-20)

    -40=-40

    Let n represent the number.

    The equation would be:

    2n = 5n + 60

    Subtract 5n from both sides.

    -3n = 60

    n = - 20

    The number is - 20.
