If 5 is subtracted from a number and the result is multi plied by 3 the answer is the same as adding 1 to the number and doubling the result . what is the number?
So first, let "x" equal the number. Next, write your expressionwith the information given. Then, solve for x!(x-5)*3 = (x+1)*23x-15 = 2x+23x-15-2x+15 = 2x+2-2x+153x-2x = 2+15x = 17Hope this helped!
