when 5 is added to a certain number and the result is multiplied by 3, the final answer is 27. What is the original number

Let the number be x

5 is subtracted from a certain number means it will be x - 5

The result is multiplied by 7, the final result is 63,

7 (x - 5) = 63

7x - 35 = 63

7x = 63 + 35

7x = 98

x = 98/7

x = 14

The number is 14

Answer the number is 14 and the equation is 7 (x - 5) = 63

Step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

the original amount doesn't ''re just looking for the time it takes for 1/2 of the substance to we have

(1/2) =)     take the ln   of both sides

ln (1/2)   = )   and we can write

ln(1/2) = ) lne     and lne   = 1     so we have

ln(1/2) = -.1092t     divide both sides by -.1092

t = ln(1/2)/-.1092 = about 6.347 days = about 6.3 days (rounded)
