Question

If

five more than three times a number is nineteen less than six times
the same number. What is the number?

Answer 1

Hi,

8

Explanation:

Let's assume n the number

five more ==> 5+

three times a number ==> 3n

is nineteen less ==> +19

six times the same number ==> 6n

Equation is: 5+3n+19=6n

24=6n-3n

3n=24

n=8

Answer 2

3x + 5 = 6x - 19

3x = 24

x = 8

The number is 8.
