Question

If you add 5 to me and then divide by 9 you get 3 what number am I

Answer 1

You are simply reversing the equation

(X+5)/9=3

First times 3 by 9 giving you 27

X+5=27

Now subtract 5 to get your answer

27-5=22

and 22 is your answer!!!!

Answer 2

form an equation using the information provided
x = number
(x + 5)/9 = 3
multiply by 9
x + 5 = 27
then solve
x = 22
