<span>One number is one less than five times another ....
</span>Let one number be x<span>
The other number is 5x - 1

Their sum ... 
x + 5x - 1 = 6x - 1

Their sum is decreased by 3
6x - 1 - 3 = 6x - 4

The result is eight
6x - 4 = 8
6x = 8 + 4
6x = 12
x = 2

x = 2
</span>5x - 1 = 5(2) - 1 = 9<span>
One number is 2 and the other is 9.</span>

Write a two step equation involving division and addition that has a solution of x = 25
Tamiku [17]
Start with the solution
x=-25
use the reverse of what they asked
they wanted division and addition
we use multiplication and subtract

ok
x=-25
we can use subtraction and multiplication in any order
minus 10 from both sides
x-10=-35
multiply both sides by 4
4(x-10)=-140
4x-40=-140 is a possible equation
