Five times the sum of a number and 3 is the same as 3 times the difference of twice the number and 1. what is the number?

The number is 18.

In order to find this, we need to take each side and turn them into mathematics statements.

Five times the sum of a number and 3.

5(x + 3)

3 times the difference of twice the number and 1

3(2x - 1)

Now that we have these, we can set them equal to each other and solve.

5(x + 3) = 3(2x - 1) > Distribute

5x + 15 = 6x - 3 > Subtract 5x from both sides

15 = x - 3 > Add 3 to both sides

18 = x

answer: the answer is one

step-by-step explanation:

pemdas, in this situation there is no parenthesis or exponents so you go to multiplication, 1x1=1, then division 1/1= 1 then addition 1+1=2 then subtraction 2-1=1

answer: #1 ads up by 8 and i don't know #2
