Plan 1 is the best choice because plan 2 would be an extra $120.00 more for the year.

No because Pam is reading 42 pages every hour so in 5 hours she would have only read 210 pages. Zack is reading 45 pages in an hour so he would finish just under 5 hours.

If three times a number minus 2 equals 13, what is the number?

Nana76 [90]

Change the messy words into numerals
3 times a number minus 2    equals    13
3 × n - 2 = 13

3n - 2 = 13
take 2 to the other side
3n - 2 + (2) = 13 + (2)
3n = 15

Divide by 3 on either sides to isolate n
$\frac{3n}{3}$ = $\frac{15}{3}$
3 and 3 cancels out

n = 5

check:
3 times 5 minus 2 equals 13
3   × 5 - 2 = 13
15 - 2 = 13
13 =    13

The number is 5
