Answer:

The number is 21.

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to solve for n.

So the equation would be 2n = |5n-63|

First you'd subtract 5n from each side, that would give you -3n=|-63|

Then you need to divide each side by -3 to get n=21.

                       ~~~~~

To check, you can just plug 21 back into the equation.

2(21) = |5(21) - 63|

42 = |105-63|

42 = |42|

42 = 42
