I am thinking of a number, let's call it x . If I increase twice my number by 5, the result is the same as if I triple my number and subtract 1. Use the 4-step process to write and solve an equation to find my number. Make sure to answer in a sentence.

6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

If I increase twice my number by 5, the result is the same as if I triple my number and subtract 1. This can be formed into an equation as:

(2 × x) + 5 = (3 × x) - 1

2x + 5 = 3x - 1

5 + 1 = 3x - 2x

x = 6

The number you are thinking of is 6

i would be happy to . most people on would also love to i'm sure. if you just want someone who has done algebra before and want a little more personal relationship than just begging strangers for , i can certainly be of service. i do have college myself so i might not be 24/7.
