The expression 5x+3 would be three more than five times a number! More than in this case would be addition - so if you get the same problem with subtraction you just change more to less!
Basically what it's tell you is that if x stood for 2 in this case 5*2 = 10 since it's 3 MORE than 5 times a number (x is in place of a number), you're adding 3 to 10 and that gives you 13!
I hope I simplified it a little more and you understand!
Good luck, rockstar! c: I hope this helped!

What percent of 40 is 14?

Lemur [1.5K]

First translate the question into an equation.

"What percent" means x/100, "of 40" means times 40, "is 14" equals 14.

So we have (x)(40) = 14 or 40x = 14.

Dividing both sides by 40, we find that x = 0.35.

Now, we want to write our answer as a percent.

So we move the decimal 2 places to the right and we have 35%.
