Question

The difference of three times a number and 5/9 is the same as the sumer of twice the number and 1/9.

I just need help to write it out in the non-word format if anyone could help I would really be thankful.

Answer 1

differance means... one thing subtracted from another.

three times a number is... 3n cuz we don't know the number.

the same as means... both sides equal each other

sum means.. two numbers added.

so .... 3n - 5/9 = 2n + 1/9

Answer 2

3x- 5/9= 2x+1/9

x= 6/9  

Answer 3

"Difference" means subtract.

"Three times a number" = 3x

So, "the difference of three times an number and 5/9" means

3x - 5/9

"is" means equals.

"sum" means addition

"twice the number" means 2x

So, "the sum of twice the number and 1/9" is

2x + 1/9

Put it all together:

3x - 5/9 = 2x + 1/9
