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

What is the missing dimension of a rectangle or prism with the following dimensions and volume? Length 3 cm width 5 cm volume 45
olasank [31]
Hello! 

In order to find out the volume of any prism, you are to do length x width x height.

Because we only know the length and the width, we can multiply those to get started. 3 x 5 is 15, so we know that's what we can start with.

Because we know the volume, all we have to do is do h x 15 = volume (45). Now, what is height?

In order to find the height, we must find a number that, when multiplied by 15, equals 45. 

So we can try out 3, which when multiplied by 15, equals 45. 

That means 3 is your height.

Hope I helped! :)
