Let x be the number

3 less than twice a certain number is equal to 2 more than 3 times the number
We can write: 2x - 3 = 3x + 2
So: -3 = x + 2
Solve: -5 = x

5 less than 5 times the number is
5 times the number = 5(-5) = -25
So, 5 less than 5 times the number = -25 - 5 = -30

Answer: A

Cheers,
Brent

Letting x = the number, we can create the equation:

2x - 3 = 3x + 2

-5 = x

So 5(-5) - 5 = -30.
