Answer:

the number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you'd like to find the number.

If n represents the number, we can write the relationship as ...

3n -1 = n +5

Adding 1-n to both sides gives ...

2n = 6

n = 3 . . . . divide by 2

The number is 3.

_____

Check

The product of the number and 3 is 9. One less is 8. That is 5 more than the number itself: 8 = 3 + 5.
