Question

I'm thinking of a number. If you multiply it by 5 and then subtract 24, you will get -44. What is my number?

Answer 1

Basically the answer is -4. I think he/she (who and before me..) forgot to insert a negative sign:))

Answer 2

4

Explanation:

let y = the number

y x 5 - 24 = -44

y x 5 = -44 + 24

y x 5 = 20

y = 20/5

y = 4
