    Three times (3 ·) a number (x) plus (+) 12 minus (-) 5 times (·) the same number (x) is (=) 22

    3x + 12 - 5x = 22 Combine like terms (3x and - 5x)

    -2x + 12 = 22 Subtract 12 from both sides

    -2x = 10 Divide both sides by - 2

    x = - 5

    1. a number is represented by "x"

    12 - 2x = 22

    -2x = 10

    x = - 5

    2. (45) + (45) + (45 + 6x) = 303
