Answer:

5 more than twice a number

2x + 5

is the same

8 less than 3 times the number

3x -8

2x + 5 = 3x -8

13 = x

x = 13

Check to see if this is right.

2x+5 = 2(13)+5 = 31

3x -8 = 3(13)-8 = 31

right.

Answer: The number is 13.

Done.

2)
4x-10y=12

Subtract 4x from each side.
-10y=-4x+12

Divide both sides by -10
y=2/5x-6/5

3)
13=1/6y+2x

Subtract 2x from each side.
-2x+13=1/6y

Multiply both sides by 6.
-12x+78=y

Flip it around.
y=-12x+78

Hope this helps!
