Question

If 28 less than five times a certain number is 232. What is the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number = 52

Justification :

Given that ;

28 less than five times a certain number is 232

Let ,

The number = x

5 times a number = 5x

28 less than five times a certain number = 5x - 28

Equal to 232 ,

5x - 28 = 232

5x = 232 + 28

5x = 260

x = 260 / 5

x = 52

Answer 2

Answer:  The number is 52 If 28 less than five times a certain number is 232.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

If 28 less than five times a certain number is 232. We have to find the number

Let the certain number is x

Five times the number = 5x

28 less than 5 times the number is = 5x-28

As per condition 5x-28=232

Variable part 5x is on right side and numbers goes to left side

5x=232–28=260

Hence we get 260

x=260/5=52

Therefore, we get the number is 52,If 28 less than five times a certain number is 232.
