2x+5=3x-3

One number so X and five more than another so addition is the sum so equals and 3 less than so subtraction and the smaller number which is X

Answer:

Answer = 2x+5 = 3x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) one number is five more than another

we have two numbers here : x and x+5

2) sum is three less than three times the smaller

sum (x+x+5) = three less (-3) three times smaller (3x)

So, combining all bold numbers :

2x + 5 = 3x-3
