There are 19 boxes of cherries. This is 5 less than twice the number of boxes of kiwis. How many boxes of kiwis are there?

Answer :

all you have to do is 19+5 because it is 5 less. 19 is 5 less than the kiwis. so 19+5= 24.  


There is 24 boxes of kiwis
x is the number of boxes of kiwis
I think this is 5 less than twice the number of boxes of kiwis so 2x-5=19 solve for x
2x=19+5
2x=24
x=12
Explanation: if you double 12 boxes of kiwis is 24 and then subtract 5, you’ll get 19 is the number of boxes of cherries
