The number here is will be represented as under -

Let the number be x.

Thus, the 5 times the number will be = 5x.

Now, it says, the number is 68 less than 5 times a number.

The equation so formed will be -

5x - 68 = x

4x = 68

x = 68.

Thus, the number will be 17.

Let us re-check the number,

(5 × 17) - 68 = 17

85 - 68 = 17

<em><u>17 = 17. Thus, the number will be 17.</u></em>
