Let n represent the number.

The equation would be: 
2n = 5n + 60 

Subtract 5n from both sides. 
-3n = 60
n = -20

The number is -20.

you can put this problem into an equation:

2x=60+5x
Step 1: Subtract 5x form both sides.
-3x=60
Step 2: Divide -3 by both sides.
x=-20

Let's check our work:
2(-20)=60+5(-20)
-40=-40
