Question

Tyler tells Jimmy, "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10. If I multiply the number by 5 and add 3, I get 38."

Answer 1

The number is 7

Explanation:

Let the number be x.

If I multiply the number by 5 and add 3, I get 38

That is

5x + 3 = 38

5x = 35

x = 35/5 = 7

The number is 7

5x+3=38
5x=38-3
5x=35
x=35/5
x=7

the answer is
the number is 7
