$7\left ( x-3 \right )=5x$
$7\left ( \frac{x}{3} \right )=5x$
$7x-3=5x$
$\left ( 7-x \right )(3)=5x$

Question 1 of 10

Translating Sentences into Algebraic Equations

Translate the following sentence into an algebraic equation.

Four-sevenths of the sum of 31 and a number is equal to 9 more than twice the number.

$\frac{4}{7}\left ( x+31 \right )=2x+9$
$\frac{4}{7}\left ( x+31 \right )=2\left ( x+9 \right )$
$\frac{4}{7}x+31=2x+9$
