Question

Five times a number is the same as 30 more than 8 times the number. Find the number. If n is "the number," which equation could be used to solve for the number? 3n = 30 5n + 8n = 30 5n = 8n + 30

Answer 1

C. 5n = 8n + 30

Explanation:

5 times a number = 5n

30 more than 8 times a number = 30 + 8n

If those expressions are equal, then:

5n = 8n + 30
