Question

which equation represents this sentence? five more than three times the number is one-third more than the sum of the number and itself. a. 5(3n)=13 n b. 3n 5=(n n) 13 c. 5(3n)=13n n d. 3n 5=13(n n)

Answer 1

3n + 5 = (n+n)+1/3 trust me i got 100% on this test

Answer 2

`3n+5=(1)/(3)+(n+n)`

Explanation:

We are given that a sentence

Five more than three times the number is one-third more than the sum of the number and itself.

We have to find that which equation represents this sentence

Let n be the number

Three times the number =3n

Five more than three times the number=3n+5

One- third more than the sum of the number and itself=
`(1)/(3)+(n+n)`

According to given sentence

`3n+5=(1)/(3)+(n+n)`

Hence,
`3n+5=(1)/(3)+(n+n)`
