5 less than 3 times a number equals 25?

I will use x as the number.

3x - 5 = 25
3x = 25 + 5
x = 30/3
x = 10

∴ the number is 10.

1. greater than 3 because 1*3 is three. A. Alan ran farther B. 30 yards farther 2. 20*10= 200 sec. or 3 1/3min. 3. 12 i think. -31 pennies -6 nickels 1 penny -5 nickels 6 pennies -4 nickels 11 pennies -3 nickels 16 pennies -2 nickels 21 pennies -1 nickel 26 pennies -1 dime 21 pennies -2 dimes 11 pennies -3 dimes 1 penny -1 quarter 6 pennies -1 quarter 1 nickel 1 penny There might be more but i think that's it

3x - 5 = 25
3x = 30
x = 10
Number is 10

10

(3x-5)=25
3x=30
x=10

Let the number be A

3A - 5 = 25
3A = 30
A = 10
