Question

three less than twice the sum of a number and 5 is 8 more than the number​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number then:

Twice the number is 2x

Three less than that is 2x-3

The word "is" is represented algebraically by an "=" sign.

Sum of the number and 8 is x + 8.

Translating the words to algebra results in:

2x - 3 = x + 8

Solve that equation for x and determine if the solution makes sense.
