Question

Five times a number subtracted from 50 is 15. what is the number? ( number 1.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number.

5 times the number would be $5x$.

Five times a number subtracted from 50 would be $50-5x$.

We have been given that five times a number subtracted from 50 is 15. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$50-5x=15$

Subtract 50 from both sides:

$50-50-5x=15-50$

$-5x=-35$

Divide both sides by $-5$

$\frac{-5x}{-5}=\frac{-35}{-5}$

$x=7$

Therefore, the required number is 5.

Answer 2

Answer:

5 x 7 = 35

50 - 35 = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

if five times a number subtracted from  50 is 15, do the multiplication of 5 and come out with two numbers when subtracted, you can get the 15.

so I multiplied 5 and 7, and got 35. then I subtracted it from the 50 and got the 15.
