Question

Five more than the quotient of a number and six is fifteen. What is the number?

Answer 1

the correct answer is X=60

Answer 2

x = 60

Explanation:

Step 1: Write out the equation

5 +x/6 = 15

Step 2: Subtract 5 from each side to get

x/6 = 10

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 6

x = 60

Check: Plug in 60 in the place of x.

5 + (60)/6 = 15

5 + 10 = 15

15 = 15
