Question

Five times a number decreased by nine is equal to twice the number increased by 23. Which equation could be used to solve the

problem?

Answer 1

5*x-9=2^x+23 i think....

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let the number be x

five times a number = 5x

Five times a number decreased by nine = 5x - 9

Twice the number increase by 23 = 2x + 23

5x - 9 = 2x + 23

5x - 2x = 23 + 9

3x = 32

x = 32/3
