Question

Twince a number added to 3 and divided by 5

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Name the unknown number "x".

Write the equation to match the description:

(2*x + 3 ) / (x + 4) = 5/3

cross-multiply to clear the fractions:

3*(2*x + 3 ) = 5(x +4)

simplify:

6*x + 9 = 5x + 20

x = 11 (plug this into the original equation to verify)

Answer 2

(2x + 3) ÷ 5.

Explanation:

Let the number be x

Twice a number is 2x

Added to 3 means +3

Divided by 5 means dividing by 5

So, we get (2x+3)÷5
