Question

The difference obtained by subtracting 6 from 5 times a number is 29. Find the number

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

5 times the x will be 5x

When 6 is subtracted from the number then the result will be 5x-6

So, According to question we have

$5x-6=29\\\\5x=35\\\\x=\dfrac{35}{5}\\\\x=7$

Hence the required number is 35
