If the sum of a number and three is tripled, the result is five less than twice the number. find the number

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

Write an equation and expressions by defining variables first.

"a number" is x.

Then "the sum of a number and three is tripled" is 3(x+3).

And "five less than twice the number" is 2x - 5.

Set them equal and solve for x.

3(x+3) = 2x -5

3x+9 = 2x-5

x+9 = -5

x = -14

the roots are ( x-intercepts) x=-0.5,x=1,x=3

the y-intercept is the point (0,3)
