Translate To An Algebra Statement; Do Not Solve:Four Times The Sum Of A Number And Five Yields The Same Result As Twice The Same Number Increased By Three?
1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating
The sum of a number and 5 can be represented as (n+5).
Four times that sum is 4(n+5).
Twice the same number is 2n.
That value increased by 3 is 2n+3.
Your algebra statement will be
4(n+5) = 2n + 3
The wording is a little ambiguous. It could mean twice (the same number increased by 3) = 2(n+3), rather than the expression shown. To make it unambiguous, one could rephrase it as "three more than twice the same number".
(spoiler below)
n = -8 1/2
