Define x:
Let the sum be x 

Construct the equation:
<span>The sum of 3 times a number and 5 is 2 times the number plus 15.
</span>→ 3x + 5 = 2x + 15

Solve x:
3x + 5 = 2x + 15         | Equation
x + 5 = 15                   | Take away 2x from both sides
x = 10                         | Take away 5 from both sides

Answer: The number is 10.

Trig help please, 2 questions, 10 pts
Scrat [10]
1. 2700 degrees. 450 rotations in on minute is 450(360) degrees per minute. If you divide this by 60 you get 2700. 
2. 180 degrees. 4.3 rotations per minute is 4.3 times 360 degrees per minute. Multiply that times 5, and divide the answer by 360 and you get 21.5, which means he is 180 degrees from his starting point.
