<span>We dissect each statement from the problem above to fully understand it.
the sum of a number and 7 is (x + 7)
3 times this is 3(x + 7)
is means the equal sign here </span><span>3(x + 7) = </span><span>
Two less then 5 times the number is 5x - 2.
Therefore, the answer is B, 3(x + 7) = 5x - 2</span>
Answer:
the quotient would be -.033333...
Step-by-step explanation:
20 and 8 make a product of 160
and their difference is 12
Set up a proportion

x is the estimated number of returned phones. cross multiply to find x
12 x 2000 = 24000
350 x X = 350x
24000=350x
Divide
x=68.57
B.) 68
