2n + 3 = 5 
2n = 2
n = 1
the sum of 2 times a number and three means you add 2n + 3 and since it is equal to 5 you then solve for n.

Let ' a number ' = x

twice a number = 2x

The sum of 2x and three = 2x + 3

...equals five: 2x + 3 = 5


Find the number
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2x + 3 = 5

Isolate the x. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. Note that because of the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.

Subtract 3 from both sides
2x + 3 (-3) = 5 (-3)

2x = 5 - 3

2x = 2
divide 2 from both sides
2x/2 = 2/2

x = 2/2

x = 1

x = 1 is your answer


hope this helps

Find the selling price of a $20 item after a 20% markup.
nevsk [136]

Answer:

$24

Step-by-step explanation:

For a markup, use the formula <em>a = ( 1 + p ) × w. </em>

!!! Remember, <em>a </em>is the selling price, and <em>w </em>is the original price !!!

!!! The <em>p </em>is the percent in decimal form. 20% as a decimal is 0.20 (move the decimal twice to the left) !!!

<em />

Inserting the values, it should look like <em>a = ( 1 + 0.20 ) × 20 </em>

<em>a = 1.20 × 20 </em>

<em>a = 24</em>

<em />

Hence, the new selling price is $24.

Hope this helps! :)
