You have to use inverse operations to solve this. The opposite of addiction is subtraction. So 41-5=36. The opposite of multiplication is division and 36/3 is 12. The number is 12.

To solve this problem, first we need to subtract 5 from 41, which gives us 36.  Then we divide it by 3.  The answer is 13.  We used inverse operations to solve this problem.
