Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first write an equation where the unknown number is represented with variable x. The sum of a fifth of x and two is five:

[tex]\frac{1}{5} x+2=5[/tex]

Great! Let's solve for x by isolating the variable.

[tex]\frac{1}{5}x=3\\x=15[/tex]

Therefore, the unknown number is 15.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions :)
