When a number is doubled and then increased by 20, the result is 5 less than 3 times the number. What is the number?

The number is equal to 25.

To write the word problem as an algebraic equation:

In this exercise, we are required to translate the word problem into a mathematical (algebraic) expression and solve for the unknown variable (number):

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

A number is doubled and then increased by 20:

  ...equation 1.

The result is 5 less than 3 times the number:

 ...equation 2

Equating the two equations, we have:

2x+20=3x-5 (x=25)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+20=3x-5

-2x+5

25=x

hope this helps ( a brainliest would be nice too)

costs the what? what is the cost of the pants?

step-by-step explanation:

if it is $10, then the price is 14.

take 40% of the cost, and then add the cost.

40% of 10 = 4

4+10 = 14.

a.) list the factors of 40.

1/2/4/5/8/10/20/40

b.) list the factors of 40 that represent the number of cans that could be on each shelf.

5

c.) how many different arrangements of cans are possible?

just one because if you put more on one shelf you will go way over 40 and the cabinet will probably break.

d.) what are the possible arrangements of the cans?

put 5 cans on each self to reach 40 cans in total.

e.) which arrangement uses all the shelves?

5 because you can put 5 cans on each shelf, and since there are 8 shelfs you are equally going to get 40 cans.
