Question

Q.1 Set up an equation and solve:
One-fifth of a number minus 4 gives 3.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the number be 'x'.

According to statement

x/5 – 4 = 3

x/5 = 3 + 4

x/5 = 7

x = 7× 5

x = 35

Answer 2

Answer:

35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say that the number is x.

Then,

x/5 - 4 = 3

x/5 = 7 [Adding 4 to both sides]

x = 35 [Multiplying both sides by 5]

The number is 35.
