Question

16. Twelve less than the one-fifth of a number is -7.

Answer 1

⅕x - 12 = -7 , (x = 25)

Explanation:

Given that,

→ Twelve less than ⅕ of a number is -7.

The equation will be,

→ ⅕x - 12 = -7

Now the value of x will be,

→ ⅕x - 12 = -7

→ ⅕x = -7 + 12

→ x = 5 × 5

→ [ x = 25 ]

Hence, the value of x is 25.
