Question

Five times a number subtracted from 50 is 15. what is the number? ( number 1.)​

Answer 1

5 x 7 = 35

50 - 35 = 15

Explanation:

if five times a number subtracted from 50 is 15, do the multiplication of 5 and come out with two numbers when subtracted, you can get the 15.

so I multiplied 5 and 7, and got 35. then I subtracted it from the 50 and got the 15.

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

Let x represent the number.

5 times the number would be
`5x`.

Five times a number subtracted from 50 would be
`50-5x`.

We have been given that five times a number subtracted from 50 is 15. We can represent this information in an equation as:

`50-5x=15`

Subtract 50 from both sides:

`50-50-5x=15-50`

`-5x=-35`

Divide both sides by
`-5`

`(-5x)/(-5)=(-35)/(-5)`

`x=7`

Therefore, the required number is 5.
