Question

help plz

Answer 1

Seven subtracted from 3 times a number is equal to 9 more than 5 times the number.



What is the number?

Answer 2

3x - 7 = 5x + 9 --- subtract 3x to both sides
-7 = 5x - 3x + 9 -- subtract 9 from both sides
-9 - 7 = 5x - 3x -- simplify
-16 = 2x -- divide both sides by 2
-16/2 = x
-8 = x

check..
3x - 7 = 5x + 9
3(-8) - 7 = 5(-8) + 9
-24 - 7 = -40 + 9
-31 = -31 (correct)
