Question

Translate the statements into algebraic equations. When eleven is subtracted from the product of a number and five, the result is twenty-nine.

Answer 1

The given statement can be represented as :

• 
  `5x - 11 = 29`

here, we took the given number as x

let's solve for x now :

• 5x = 29 + 11

• 5x = 40

• x = 8

value of x = 8

Answer 2

`11 \: is \: dubstracted \: from \: a \: nuber * 5 = 29 \\ 5x - 11 = 29\\ 5x = 29+ 11 \\ 5x =40 \\ x = (40)/(5) = 8 \\ x = 8 \\ thank \: you`
