1). Is x= 3 a solution of the equation

Question

2x+5=3(x-2)-2
2). The product of a number and number increased by 8 is 20. Convert this statement to an equation.

3). The area of a rectangle is 54 sq meters whose length is 3m more than its width. Convert this statement to an equation.

Answer 1

1) does 11 = 1? NO
However, seeing an unexpected blank, and knowing that x=13 is a solution, maybe the answer is yes.

2) n(n+8)=20

3) w(w+3)=54
Luckily, I was first able to convert the statement to English! :-)
