Answer:

n = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'n' = the number

3n - 5 = 2n + 9

n - 5 = 9

n = 14

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to replace the unknown quantity with "x" and work with it.

The result of multiplying a number by 3 and substracting 5

3x - 5

Is the same as

3x-5= (__)

Doubling the number and adding 9

3x- 5= 2x+9

Then we solve it like any equation

3x - 5 = 2x + 9

3x - 2x = 9 + 5

x = 14
