the result of multiplying a number by 3 and subtracting 5 is the same as doubling the number and adding 9 what is the number

The question is asking you to take the written words and turn them into a mathematical equation...

so... the words say...
the result of multiplying a number by 3 and subtracting 5 is the same as doubling the number and adding 9 what is the number
Start with the first phrase... the result... that means there will be an equal sign
=
Let n be the number we are trying to find
multiplying by 3
and subtracting 5
3n - 5 is the same as...
doubling 2n and adding 9
so...
3n-5 = 2n + 9
Now you re-arrange and solve for n : )

thank you

Well, if we let the number be "x", we can set up an equation. According to the given information, the equation would be 3x - 5 = 2x + 9.

But I must warn you, numbers can be quite tricky! They tend to hide from me when they see my funny face. So, let's solve this equation together and see if we can find our sneaky number.

If we subtract 2x from both sides of the equation, we get x - 5 = 9. Now, if we add 5 to both sides, we have x = 14!

So, the number we're looking for is 14. But be careful, it might have played a little game of hide-and-seek with me, so keep an eye out!

To solve this problem, we can create an equation based on the given information.

Let's assume the number is 'x'.

According to the problem, "the result of multiplying a number by 3 and subtracting 5 is the same as doubling the number and adding 9". So we can write this as an equation:

3x - 5 = 2x + 9

Now, let's solve this equation to find the value of 'x':

First, we want to get rid of the 'x' term on the right side of the equation. To do this, we can subtract 2x from both sides of the equation:

3x - 2x - 5 = 2x - 2x + 9

Simplifying, we have:

x - 5 = 9

Next, to isolate the 'x' term, we need to add 5 to both sides of the equation:

x - 5 + 5 = 9 + 5

Simplifying, we have:

x = 14

So, the number is 14.
