    117.5

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Joe's weight = x

    Double Joe's weight = 2x

    Five decreased from double Joe's weight = 2x-5

    2x-5 = 230

    We put like terms together,

    2x-5+5 = 230+5

    2x = 235

    2x/2=235/2

    x=117.5

    Check your answer:

    2x-5=230 (where x is 117.5)

    2 (117.5) - 5 = 230

    235-5 = 230
