The difference of twice a number and five is three. Find the number

The number is 4.

The step describe to solve the problem is: add five and then multiply by

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

As per the given condition as:

The difference of twice a number and five is three.

"Twice a number" means

"difference of twice a number and five" means

therefore, the translation of the given word problem to an equation is:

Now, solve the equation :

Addition Property of equality states that you add the same number to both sides of an equation.

Add 5 to both sides of an equation we get;

2x-5+5=3+5

Simplify:

2x = 8

Multiplication property of equality states that you multiply the same number to both sides of an equation.

Multiply by  both sides we get;

Simplify:

x = 4

The steps which describe to solve the problem is: add five and then multiply by

Therefore, the number x = 4

4 the answer is four as 4×2=8 and 8-5=3

12*c

step-by-step explanation:

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .
