Question

Gordon was thinking of a number. Gordon subtracts 0.3 from the number and gets an answer of 85.6. Form an equation with x from the information

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 85.9

Step-by-step explanation:

Gordon's #: 85.9

Equation: (x - 0.3) = 85.6

Using inverse operations.

(x + 0.3) = x

85.6 + 0.3 = 85.9

x = 85.9

Answer 2

Answer:

x-0.3=85.6

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number Gordon was thinking =x

he subtracts 0.3 from that number and gets 85.6 means

x-0.3=85.6

if we find the value of x then,

x=85.6+0.3=85.9
