Question

find the number such that when 5 is subtracted from 5 times the number,the result is 4 more than twice the number. pls help!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it helps you.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number

5 subtracted from 5 times the number is 5n - 5

4 more than twice the number is 2n + 4

These expressions should be equal.

5n - 5 = 2n + 4

3n = 9

n = 3

Answer 2

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

First part: 5x - 5

Second part: 2x + 4

Together: 5x - 5 = 2x + 4

Next, simplify or re-write the expression: 3x - 9 = 0

Now, apply algebra: Add 9 to the negative 9 to cancel it out. Next, add nine to the other side (laws of algebra).

Expression looks like this: 3x = 9

Divide 3x by 3 to cancel out the 3 and divide the other side by 3 as well (laws of algebra).

And, you should be left with 3.

Therefore, the answer is 3.
