Question

Three times the difference of 5 and a number gives 30. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to write the equation. I came up with....

3(5 - x) = 30

so take the 3 away from the 30. I think your not supose to do the 3 because it out of the ( ). the opppisite of multiplication is division. so...

3 divided by 30 =10

rewrite

(5 - x) = 10

take the 5 away. the oppisite of subbtraction is addition.

5 + 10 = 15

check your; plug in x

3(5 - 15) = 30  This equation looks true!
