Question

If 10 is added to 5 times a number gives 85. What is the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we must 1st form an equation.

If 10 is added to 5 times a number, it gives 85

It can be written as: 5x + 10 = 85

Here, x is the number to be found.

Now the rest is easy. This is how you solve it:

5x + 10 = 85

       5x = 85 - 10 = 75

          x = $\frac{75}{5}$

          x = 15

Therefore, the number is 15.
