Question

If a number is decreased by 5 and divided by 6, the result is 8. What would be the result if 2

is subtracted from the number and then it is divided by 5?​

Answer 1

Answer:

given,

(x-5)/6 = 8,

(x-2)/5 = ?

from,

(x-5)/6 =8,

=> x-5 =48,

=> x = 53,

therefore,

(x-2)/5 = (53-2)/5,

= 51/5,

= 10.2

Answer 2

Answer:

10.2

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

(x - 5) / 6 = 8

x - 5 = 48

x = 53

therefore the number is 53

(53 - 2) / 5 = 51 / 5 = 10.2
