Question

I thought a number. If I subtract 16 from it and divide the difference by 5 it comes out 3. What is the number 1
thought?​

Answer 1

Answer:

31

Step-by-step explanation:

let us substitute a number by x

x-16/5=3

x-16=3×5

x-16=15

x=15+16

x=31

verification

31-16/5

15/5

3

hence 31 is the right answer
