The number n when increased
by 18 is the same as two less
than 5 times the number n.
The linear equation based on the
information above is
A n + 18 = 2 - 5n
B n + 18 = 5n - 2
C 18 = 2-5n
D 18n = 5n - 2​

Answer:

Number n increased by 18 = n +18

Number is 2 less than 5 times n= 5n -2

They are same =>  n +18 = 5n -2

Option B

[ n + 18 = 5n -2

18 +2 =5n - n

20 = 4n

n = 5

Lets check 5+18 = 5*5 - 2

                 23 = 23]
