Question

Brenda thought of a number divided it by 5 and then added seven to her answer she got the final number 11 what was her starting number​

Answer 1

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

lets assume the number she thought of was x

$\frac{x}{5}$

then she added 7 to it and got 11

$\frac{x}{5} + 7 = 11$

l.c.m

$\frac{x + 35}{5} = 11$

cross multiply

$x + 35 = 11 \times 5$

$x + 35 = 55$

$x = 55 - 35$

x = 20
