Question 399936
Let x=the number
3x=three time the number (same as thrice the number)
2x=twice the same number
When added together we get 2x+3x=5x
Now we are told that:
5x=3x+10  subtract 3x from both sides
5x-3x=3x-3x+10
2x=10
x=5-------------------the number
CK
2*5+3*5=3.5+10
10+15=15+10
25=25

Hope this helps---ptaylor
