THREE LESS THAN FIVE TIMES A CERTAIN NUMBER IS EQUAL TO 67 MORE THAN ONE-THIRD OF THE NUMBER. FIND THE NUMBER.
THANKS AGAIN!
Answer by longjonsilver(2297) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let the number be x

so, one side is 5x-3
and other side is x/3 + 67

So, 5x-3 = x/3 + 67
5x = x/3 + 70
15x = x + 210
14x = 210
x = 210/14
x = 15
