5 less than a number x is 3 times the sum of a number x and 2? (i need a word problem not the answer)

Yesterday I squeezed 2 kilos of apples in a barrel.

Today I have picked 5 extra kilos of apples and save them in a basket.

By the end of the day, I want to squeeze some of them and add to the barrel.

Apple juice from the barrel is valued 3 times the same amount of raw apples.

I want to find how many apples I can squeeze today (x) such that the value of the remaining raw apples is equivalent to the total value of produced apple juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is 5-x = 3 * (x + 2).

If x is the amount of apple to squeeze (in kilos) then 5-x is the remaining raw apples and x+2 is the total quantity of juice.

Since that juice is valued 3 times the raw apples we obtain the equivalence defined in the equation above.

step-by-step explanation:

we cannot know this, because the other students could have handed out 10 flyers, or they could have handed out 100. one way, the mean would go up, and another way, the mean would go down.
