Answer 1

The first part of the question simply says
Five more than three times a number

Let the number be p
Then five more than three times a number will be

5+3(number)
5+3p

It then says that it equals 21. So we’ll have to equate it to 21 I.e

5+3p=21
Arranging properly

3p+5-21=0 (21 crossed over and became negative)

Hop it’s what you’re looking for

Answer 2

3x (“Three times a number”) +5 (“Five more”) =21

So, the equation is 3x+5=21
