Let x represent some number
Sum of 3 and twice some number = 3 +2x
Five times the sum of 3 and twice some number: 5(3+2x)
5(3+2x)=70
15+10x=70
Subtract 15 from both sides to have 10x by itself
10x=55
Divide 10 on both sides to get x by itself
x=55/10
x=5.5
Hope this helped
The common minimum of those three numbers is 120.

Answer:
x=18
Step-by-step explanation:
4x-10=3x+8
4x-3x
x-10=8
8+10
Let the distance of Jill form the base of the tower be x, then tan 40 = 100/x
x = 100/tan 40 = 100/0.8391 = 119.18 meters
Let the height of the tower from the level of the top of Jill's apartment be y, then tan 30 = y/119.18
y = 119.18 x tan 30 = 68.8 meters
Therefore, the height of Jill's apartment is 100 - 68.8 = 31.2 meters
