To solve this question, we can start to set up an equation using what the question is telling us. Since we don't know what the number is, let's make it equal to x.
The phrase "5 times a number" means that we're multiplying our unknown, x, by 5. That is equal to 5x. 9 less than that would be 5x - 9. Since we know that it's equal to -30, we can solve.
5x - 9 = -30
Get all terms with x on one side and the constants on the other
5x - 9 +9 = -30 + 9
Simplify
5x = -21
Now, we can divide both sides by 5 to get our answer of x = -
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have not instructed to follow any kind of rule dividing, we can write in any form. Let's calculate it using fraction
We can multiply both the nominator and denominator with 100
The answer is 5.
We can also solve it as a division of fractions:
