Question

Write a problem that could be represented by the equation 5n-6=19

Answer 1

For this case we have the following expression:

$5n-6 = 19$

We must write a problem to represent the given equation.

We have then:

Carlos's age is 6 less than 5 times his brother's age. Carlos's age is currently 19 years old. Calculate the approximate age of Carlos's brother.

In this problem we must use the following equation:

$5n-6 = 19$

Where,

• n: age of Carlos's brother.

Answer:

Carlos's age is 6 less than 5 times his brother's age. Carlos's age is currently 19 years old. Calculate the approximate age of Carlos's brother.
