My teacher gave me a number and told me to subtract 5 from the number and then multiply the result by 8. Unfortunately, I wasn't

listening. I thought she told me to subtract 8 first and then multiply the result by 5. I did those computations correctly and came up with 70 as my answer. What is the correct answer to the question my teacher actually asked me?

7 0

Answer:

136

Step-by-step explanation:

If you subtracted 8 and multiplied it later 70 divided by 5 is 14 plus 8 equals 22 so 22 was the number I suppose

22 minus 5 equals 17, 17 times 8 equals 136 so the original answer was 136
