The number is 6 because five times 6 is 30, and 30 minus 2 is 28. You could also solve this backwards in the future and take 28 plus 2 and then divide that number by 5 (opposite of subtracting 2 is adding two, opposite of multiplying by five is dividing by 5). 

5x-2=28    (writing it this way might also help, because now you just have to solve for x)

2 less than (-2) 5 times a number (5x) is (=) 28 (28)
-2+5x=28
add 2 to both sides
5x=30
divide both sides by 5
x=6

the number is 6

PLZ HELP! Lenny is 3 times older than Max. When you subtract Max’s age from Lenny’s age, you get 24. How old is Lenny and how ol
tresset_1 [31]
Hi!

(l = Lenny
m = Max)

Lenny is 3 times as old as Max.
3m = l

When you subtract Max's age from Lenny's age, you get 24.
L - m = 24

Put in the value of l.
3m - m = 24
There is our equation.

Now solve

2m = 24
2m/2 = 24/2
m = 12

3 * 12 = l
36 = l

The equation is 3m - m = 24
Max is 12 and Lenny is 36.

Hope this helps! :)
