由於先乘除後加減, 所以將文字轉番做number equation先搞掂乘除先。

let the number be x.

"3 times of a number" means x times 3, i.e. 3x
"add 5 to", i.e. +5
"the sum is 20", i.e. =20

∴5+3x=20
3x=20-5
3x=15
x=15/3
x=5

Let d b the number.

3d+5=20

3d =20-5

3d =15

d =15/3

d =5

Therefore, the number is 5.

Let y be the number.

5+3y=20
3y=15
y=5
