Twice a number, increased by 3 is the same as five less than four times a number. what is the number?

x = 4, hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3 = 4x - 5

-2x -2x

3 = 2x -5

+5 +5

8 = 2x

divide by 2 on both sides

4 = x

switch where the x and 4 is, because teachers seem to like that

x = 4

for ex: the reciprocal of 3/4 is 4/3. it is the opposite.

reciprocal definition:

a mathematical expression or function so related to another that their product is one; the quantity obtained by dividing the number one by a given quantity.

it’s supposed to be -4+45=41
