5(X - 1) = 2X + 3, or 5X - 5 = 2X + 3.
Get the numbers on one side and the Xs on the other.

Let the number be x
The difference between the number and 1 is x - 1
Five times this difference is 5(x - 1)
The same number increased by three is x + 3
Twice this is 2(x + 3)
Since one yields the same result as the other then your equation is 5(x - 1) = 2(x + 3)
Remember, if you are solving an equation you must have an unknown value and an equal sign in your equation!

Use variables.
5x(x-l) = 2x + 3
Not positive about that though, I took algebra a couple years ago lol.
