Let the number be n

the first half (2 less than 3 lots of a number) is in brackets.
3 lots of a number is 3 x the number and 2 less than it is subtracting 2 from the product.
So 3n-2.
That whole number is doubled so the 2 is left outside the brackets so that it applies to everything inside.
2(3n-2) = 5

im not sure if you were asked to find the number but if you are then you must work in opposite operations.

First, divide both sides by 2--
3n-2 = 2.5
then add the 2 to both sides
3n = 4.5
divide both by 3 and tha'ts the answer for n but its a decimal so i doubt its asking for that

Abner wants to create a shopping budget where he spends less than $80 per month on clothes. He also wants to spend at least thre
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

D) Abner can spend $60 per month on school clothes and $20 per month on gym clothes and stay within his budget.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the problem it states that Abner will spend 3 times more on (s)school clothes than (g) gym clothes.

So it would appear as s ≥ 3g.

If we plug in $60 as s (school clothes) and $20 as g (gym clothes), the statement is true.

60 ≥ 3(20)

60 ≥ 60. These numbers make the linear system true.

If you have trouble with this, an easy way to find this answer is simply creating the linear system that represents the problem, (he will buy 3 times more school clothes than gym clothes) s ≥  3g and plug in each variable from the answer choices until you find the variables that make the linear system true.
