A number added to 5 is the same as the sum of twice the number and 3.

Question

write this as a equation

Answer 1

Let "n" be "a number" then "a number added to 5" would be "n + 5"

Twice the number would be "2n" and the sum of "twice the number and 3" is "2n + 3"

So, since these two are the same, then n + 5 = 2n + 3
