Write an equation and solve for the unknown number. Twice a number, increased by 3 is 7. (1 point) Responses

The number is 2. .
The number is 8.
The number is 20.
The number is 5.

Let's call the unknown number "x". According to the given information, we can create the following equation:

2x + 3 = 7

Now, let's solve for x.

Subtracting 3 from both sides:

2x = 4

Dividing both sides by 2:

x = 2

So the unknown number is 2.
