Question

5,000 MORE THAN THE NUMBER HAS 187 THOUSANDS

Answer 1

If you have to write an equation for that and solve it, then it's going to be

x + 5000= 187000 (let the number be x since its unknown)
x = 187000-5000 (take 5000 to the right side to get x on its own)
x = 182000

Answer 2

It is given that, 5000 more than the number has 187,000.

Let the number=x

→ x+5,000=187,000

Subtracting 5,000 from both sides

x=187,000 -5,000

x=182,000

Number=182,000
