Question 123173
Three times a number and 3/4 is equal to five times the product of a number and 2

As written, it is somewhat ambiguous:
:
Does it mean 3(x + {{{3/4}}}) = 10x
or
does it mean 3x + {{{3/4}}} = 10x
:
It's a poorly written problem, no wonder students are have difficulty with it.
I would throw this one out.
