Question

What number gives result of -6 when 11 is subtracted from the quotient of the number and 5

Answer 1

25

Explanation:

You just have to think about it like this:

x - 11 = -6

Transpose to get x:

x = -6 + 11

x = 5

Now that you know that the inside of you parenthesis should be equal to 5, think of a number that when you divide it by 5, it will be equal to 5. That's 25, so:

(25 / 5) - 11 = -6
