Question 758955: if three times the number is added to twice the same number, the result is the sum of thrice the number an 10. find the number Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The number = x
Three times the number + twice the number
3x + 2x
Thrice the number + 10
3x + 10
3x + 2x = 3x + 10
Collect like terms.
Change signs as you cross equal sign.
3x + 2x - 3x = 10
2x = 10
x= 5
15 + 10 = 15 + 10
Hope this helps.
