The product of 5 and 2 less than triple a number equals the product of 7 and 8 more than twice the number. What is the number?

Answer:Hi,

Let the number be x

Twice the number is 2x

Five less than twice the number is 2x-5, which is given as 9

Therefore, 2x-5 = 9

or, 2x = 9+5

or, 2x = 14

or x=7

Thus the number is 7.
