If 6 times a number is decreased by 5, the result is 7 more than the sum of 3 times the number and 13. what is the number?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "let the number be x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6 times a number is 6x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this is decreased by 5 meaning 6x-5 ( first part of the equation)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "number plus 13 is x+13
\n" ); document.write( "3times the number plus 13\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "= 3(x+13)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "seven more than 3(x+13)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3(x+13) +7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6x-5 = 3(x+13)+7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6x-5 = 3x +39 +7\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "6x-3x= 39+7+5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x= 51\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x= 17 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
