Question

5 more than the product of 6 and a number 23. What is the number?

Answer 1

x = 3

Explanation:

Let x be the number

1. Write it out as an equation: 6x + 5 = 23
2. Subtract 5 from each side, so it now looks like this: 6x = 18
3. Divide each side by 6 to cancel out the 6 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 3

I hope this helps!
