Question

June was thinking of a number. June subtracts 5.6 from the number and gets an answer of 76.9. Form an equation with x from the information.

Answer 1

Answer: x - 5.6 = 76.9

Explanation:

The number June thought of would give a result of 76.9 if 5.6 were subtracted from it.

Assume that number is x.

If you subtract 5.6 from x, you would get 76.9.

Equation is therefore:

x - 5.6 = 76.9

Solving for x would make x:

x - 5.6 = 76.9

x = 76.9 + 5.6

x = 82.5
