Question 268069
Translation:

<pre>

Five times a number  ---> '5n'
is the same as       --->  '='
30 more than         --->  '30+
8 times the number   --->  '8n'

</pre>


So altogether, "Five times a number is the same as 30 more than 8 times the number. Find the number" translates to {{{5n=30+8n}}}. I'll let you solve for 'n' to find the number.
