Answer:
the equation will be:
solving the equation we get x=8
Option B is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to write equation for this sentence:
The difference between a number and five equals three.
Let number = x
So, the equation will be:
Now, solving the equation to find value of x
Adding 5 on both sides
So, solving the equation we get x=8
Option B is correct.
If this exact question is repeatedly deleted, it's probably because of the ambiguity of the given equation. I see two likely interpretations, for instance:
or
If the first one is what you intended, then
and it follows that
2<em>k</em> + 8 = 3 ==> 2<em>k</em> = -5 ==> <em>k</em> = -5/2
If you meant the second one, then
which would give
<em>k</em> + 9 = 3 ==> <em>k</em> = -6
And for all I know, you might have meant some other alternative... When you can, you should include a picture of your problem.
