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

How do you solve for x a=2x+6xz
maksim [4K]

a = 2x + 6xz

a = x(2 + 6z) <em>factored out "x" on right side</em>

a/(2 + 6z) = x <em>divided both sides by (2 + 6z)</em>

Answer: x = \frac{a}{2 + 6z}

Answer:

x = 323 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given triangles are similar, so their corresponding sides would be in proportion:

3ft = 3*12 = 36 in

5ft 8 in = 5*12 + 8 = 68 in

14 ft 3 in = 14*12 + 3 = 171 in

\frac{3 \: ft}{14 \: ft \: 3 \: in}  =  \frac{5 \: ft \: 8 \: in}{x}  \\  \\  \frac{36}{171}  =  \frac{68}{x}  \\  \\ x =  \frac{171 \times 68}{36}  \\  \\ x =   \frac{11628}{36}  \\  \\ x = 323 \: in \:  \\  \\ x = 26 ft \: 11  in
