Question

Five more than three times a number is sixty- five.
Write an equation and what is the number?

Answer 1

Write out in numerical form what this would look like; 5+3*x=65.
To solve for that number(x), you subtract 5 from both sides, leaving 3x=60
Divide both sides by 3 to get x alone, so x=20

Answer 2

I got it right, thanks for clarifying.
