Five times the sum of a number and 3 is the same as 3 multiplied by 1 less than twice the number

Answer:-2

Step-by-step explanation:

(n + 3) 5 = 3 x 1 - n

distribute so 5n + 15 = 3 - n

subtract three from both sides

5n - 12 = - n

subtract 5n from both sides

12 = - 6n

Divide both sides by - 6

n=-2
