Question

Three times the sum of twice a number and three is equal to the sum of five times the number and one. Find the number.

I just need the equation!!

Answer 1

3*(2n+5) = n-5

Explanation:

Step 1. Let n be the number.

Step 2. Let 2n+5 be the sum of twice a number and five

Step 3. Let 3(2n+5) be three times the sum of twice a number and five

Step 4 Let n-5 be five less than the number.

Step 5. Then using Steps 3 and 4, we have 3%282n%2B5%29=n-5 since three times the sum of twice a number and five is equal to five less than the number.

Step 6. Solving the equation in Step 5 yields the following steps

Answer 2

3(2x + 3) = 5(x + 1)

Explanation:

lets call the number X
