The product of a number and 3 is twice the sum of that number and five.
let x= the number
"the product" meansanswer to multiplication, so;
3x= the product of a number and 3;
"is" means =;
"sum' meansanswer to an addition;
"sum of that number and 5";
x+5;
"of" means multiply;
"twicw the sum"
2(x+5);
3x=2(x+5)
3x=2x+10
3x-2x=10
x=10
hope you understand
=)
