Question

Twice a number, increased by 3 is the same as five less than four times a number.what is the number?

Answer 1

x = 4, hope this helps!

Explanation:

2x + 3 = 4x - 5

-2x -2x

3 = 2x -5

+5 +5

8 = 2x

divide by 2 on both sides

4 = x

switch where the x and 4 is, because teachers seem to like that

x = 4
