Question 1018118: What is the unknown number? Two times a number added to 5 times a number is the same as six times the number minus 3. Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let us call the number x. Then we write
2x + 5x = 6x - 3
7x = 6x - 3
Subtract 6x from both sides and get
x = -3
