Chapter 11.4, Problem 34CCR

To determine

To determine the equation from the given statement.

Answer to Problem 34CCR

  $3x+5=20$

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The sum of three times a number and $5$ is $20$

Calculation:

Let’s consider the number as $x$ .

The sum of three times a number and $5$ is $20$ ,

So, from the given statement the equation can be represented as,

  $\Rightarrow 3\times x+5=20$

  $\Rightarrow 3x+5=20$

From here value of the unknown number is,

  $\Rightarrow 3x=20-5$

  $\Rightarrow 3x=15$

  $\Rightarrow x=5$

Conclusion:

Therefore, the equation from the given statement is $3x+5=20$ .
