Answer:

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
