Two less than three times a number is equal to 14 more than five times the number. find the number

x = -8.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 3x-2 = 5x+15. Simplify it to -2 = 2x+15. Then simplify again to -17 = 2x. Then divide 2 from both sides to get x = -8.5

step-by-step explanation:

in the absence of parentheses, i will have to make some assumptions:   i interpret your (3x+5/y^6)(4y^3/5)​ to mean:

3x + 5     4y^(3/5)       (3x + 5)(4)

* =

    y^6             1               y^(6-3/5)

if this is not what you expected, repost your question using parentheses to indicate whether you meant

4y^3

    or   4y^(3/5)

    5

you can't solve x because it is 2 linear equation and you only have one equation
