According to the problem, we have to express the following statement:

Two more than 5 times a number is 77.

Remember that "a number" is represented by n.

The word "is" means equality.

"5 times" means to multiply by 5.

So, the algebraic expression would be

[tex]2+5n=77[/tex]

We solve for n-

[tex]\begin{gathered} 5n=77-2 \\ 5n=75 \\ n=\frac{75}{5}=15 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the number is equal to 15.
