One fifth of a number plus three times the number is equal to twice the number plus 42. what is the number

One Fifth of a Number = 1/5N
N=Number
3 Times the Number =3N
Equals - =
Twice the Number = 2N
Plus 42 = + 42

1/5N + 3N = 2N + 42

Now We have to solve

There are many ways you can solve of course. I personally don't like Fractions so I am going to multiply the whole thing with 5.

(1/5N+3N = 2N + 42)5

1N+15N= 10N + 210 Add Like Terms

16N = 10N +210 Now subtract 10 N on -. both side
6N = 210 Divide 6 On both sides

N = 35 The Number is 35

X is the number
(1/5)x+3x=2x+42
minus 2x both sides
(1/5)x+x=42
(6/5)x=42
times both sides by 5
6x=210
divide both sides by 6
x=35

the number is 35

Iwould say false, not positive but if prices went up for both stores, technically there will be less buyers?

Ibelieve that c. recording would work best.
