Question

If 5 is added eighteen times to a number the result is 174 what is the number

Answer 1

The number is 84.

Explanation

The question wants us to find a number that gives 174 when 5 is added to it eighteen times.

Let that number we are looking for be x.

Interpreting the question into a mathematical equation, we have

x + (5 × 18) = 174

x + 90 = 174

Subtract 90 from both sides

x + 90 - 90 = 174 - 90

x = 84

Hence, the number we are looking for, is 84.
