Question

If Jaalan takes the number of marbles he has and multiplies it by 5 and then subtracts 10, he gets 275. Write an equation and solve to see how may marbles Jaalan has.

Answer 1

57 marbles

Explanation:

The equation is going to be 5x - 10 = 275. To solve, add 10 to both sides: 5x = 285. Now, divide by 5. Jaalan has 57 marbles.

Answer 2

The equation is 275+10/5. The answer to the equation is 57. Jaalan has 57 marbles.The initial equation is 57*5-10=275. But, the equation to find out how many marbles Jaalan has is 275+10/5=57. Hope this helps. :) :)
