Answer:
34 = 3x - 26
Step-by-step explanation:
the phrase "the same as" is the same as the "=" sign
So 34 = 5 less than triple the difference of a number and 7
difference of a number of 7 is x - 7
triple x - 7 can be written as 3(x - 7) or simplified as 3x - 21
5 less than 3x - 21 = 3x - 21 - 5 or 3x - 26
34 = 3x - 26
Or 34 = 3(x-26) -5
