One number is five more than another, and their sum is three less than three times the smaller. find the numbers.

if x represents the smaller number, which equation could be used to solve for x?

a. x 2 + 5 = 3x - 3
b. 2x + 5 = 3x - 3
c. 2x + 5 = 3(x - 3)

B. .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the smaller number.

We have been one number is five more than another. The another number would be: .

Sum of both numbers would be

Three times the smaller number would be  .

Three less than three times the smaller number would be  .

We have been given that their sum is three less than three times the smaller. We can represent this information in an equation as: .

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.

the answer is a.
