Question

Fives times the difference of
a number and 3 is 25

Answer 1

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

if n represents the number:

5(n - 3) = 25

(distribute)

5n - 15 = 25

(add 15 to both sides)

5n = 40

(divide both sides by 5 to isolate "n")

n = 8

Answer 2

24

Explanation:

multiples for 3=3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24

Multiples for 8=8,16,24

The first one that matches for both is 24
