Answer:

3*( 8-2n)=5n

The number is 24/11

Step-by-step explanation:

three times

3*

the difference of eight and twice a number

3*( 8-2n)

is five times the number

3*( 8-2n)=5n

To solve

Distribute

3*8 -3*2n = 5n

24 -6n = 5n

Add 6n to each side

24 - 6n +6n = 5n +6n

24 = 11n

Divide each side by 11

24/11 = 11n/11

24/11 =n

The number is 24/11

Rayshawn has a certain amount of money if he spends $20 then he has 1/3 of the original amount how much money did Rayshawn have
erik [133]

Answer:

Rayshawn originally had $30.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) Rayshawn has a certain amount of money. Let us say this amount is $x.

ii) Rayshawn spends $20 which means that he is left with $(x - 20)

iii) it is also given that amount of money left after spending $20 is \dfrac{1}{3} of the original amount, $x, the amount remaining is \dfrac{\$x}{3}.

iv) from the information given in ii) and iii) we get

     $(x - 20) = \dfrac{\$x}{3},  Therefore we get 3x - 60 = x , therefore 2x = 60,

  Therefore x = $30. Rayshawn originally had $30.
