The hardest part of answering that word problem is putting it into the form of an
equation. Solving the equation is easy.
I'll do the hard part for you. Then you can take my work, solve the equation, and
take full credit for the whole thing. You'll get a terrific grade for your homework,
and you won't know any more math than you did before.
Your word problem says that . . .
2x - 72 = 5 (x + 3x)
From this point, you ought to be able to knock that out in a minute or two.
