Three times a number is the same as five more than twice the number

3x (three times a number) = (is the same as) 5 + (five more than) 2x (twice the number)

or, 3x = 5+2x
then subtract 2x from both sides: x = 5

Which should make sense, three times 5 is 15. 5 plus two times 5 is also 15.

x=5

The model below represents the equation 3x+2=2x-5,

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

The equation is;

$3x + 2 = 2x - 5$

Shifting "2x" to left side and "2" to right side.

$3x - 2x = - 5 - 2$

Simplify them to get answer.

$x = - 7$

Therefore the value of x is -7.

Check;

3 × -7 + 2 = 2 × -7 -5

-19 = -19 ( True ).

So, your answer is option B.

Hope it helps..

MrRa [10]

Fifth root of x is x^1/5 as an exponential expression. . This to the 7th power is

x ^(1/5 * 7) which is x^(7/5). Bringing this to the third power is x^ (21/5) which is your answer.
