Answer:

[tex]\tt\Huge\purple{x\:=\:-32}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to translate this into a mathematical equation.

Let the "number" be x (but you can use any other letter in the alphabet)

[tex]x+2=5*-6[/tex]

Now, we can do a simple algebra to find the answer to this question.

[tex]x+2=5*-6\\x=-30-2\\x=-32[/tex]

To further validate the answer, we will check the answer.

[tex]-32+2=5*-6\\-30=-30[/tex]
