The product of 3 and a number is the same as 10 less than twice the number

Hello!

First, create a variable representing the number. In this case, let's just say n = the number.

Now, solve this by side. You can tell which is on which side of the equation by the words "is the same as". Anything before that is on one side, and anything after is on the other.

Left side: "The product of 3 and a number"

Here, we get our first side. The product means when two numbers are multiplied together. Thus, the product of 3 and a number would be 3 and a number multiplied together, or 3n.

Right side: "10 less than twice the number"

Finally, our last side. What we want to do first is "twice the number". This is because this happens first, even though the words are ordered differently. Twice the number means the number doubled, or *2. Therefore, multiply 2 and n together, to get 2n.

Next, add the "10 less" part. To do this, subtract 10 from 2n. We then get 2n - 10.

Finally, put the equation together. Take 3n and 2n-10, and create an equation. We get 3n = 2n-10.

Therefore, we have our final answer, or 3n = 2n - 10.

Hope this helps!

First thing to do, is organize in your mind what is asked of the problem. Since the problem talks about total cost, then you are dealing with monetary units of measurement. Next, you investigate on the variables given and what they represent. Looking at the following expressions, I could not immediately get a hint on what these terms stand for. But for letter c, I deduced that that would be the overall equation representing the total cost.

The first term, 0.25x, must be the cost of the phone units purchased under the plan . That means each cellphone unit used costs $0.25 each. The second term, 2y, must be the cost of data used by the plan. So, that means each megabyte used up costs $2. These two costs must be what is referred to by the additional costs. Lastly, the last term, '55'. is the fixed cost when you subscribe to the amount per month. Hence, the equation in letter C represents the total cost per month.
