Question reads….
“The product of a 5 and a number plus 11 is 36”
We are not sure what the unknown number is, so we will label it as “w”
Your equation:
5 * w + 11 = 36
SOLVING for the answer to the equation:
5 * w + 11 = 36
5w + 11 = 36
SUBTRACT to both sides
5w + 11 - 11 = 36 - 11
SIMPLIFY it
5w = 25
DIVIDE 5 to BOTH SIDES
5w/5 = 25/5
SIMPLIFY it
w = 25/5
w = 5
Therefore, your unknown number should be: 5
Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
