The number that satisfies the given statement is 18
Given :
five times the sum of a number and 3 is the same as 3 multiplied by 1 less than twice the number
Let 'n' be the unknown number
Write the expression for the given statement using the number 'n'
the sum of a number and 3 is n+3
five times the sum of a number and 3 becomes 5(n+3)
1 less than twice the number is 2n-1
the expression 5(n+3) is same as 3 multiplied by 1 less than twice the number
[tex]5(n+3)= 3(2n-1)[/tex]
Solve for n
[tex]5(n+3)= 3(2n-1)\\5n+15=6n-3\\5n-6n+15=-3\\-1n+15=-3\\-1n=-3-15\\-1n=-18\\\n=18[/tex]
So the unknown number is 18
