Question

Five times the sum of a number and 3 is the same as 3 multiplied by 1 less than twice the number ​

Answer 1

Answer:-2

Explanation:

(n + 3) 5 = 3 x 1 - n

distribute so 5n + 15= 3 - n

subtract three from both sides

5n - 12 = -n

subtract 5n from both sides

12 = −6n

Divide both sides by -6

n=-2
