Answer 2

Answer:

Let the number be x

we've to make an equal for understanding this clearly

that is

x-5=16

here x is the number and when we subtract 5 from it we do get 16 as the result,So getting into the calculation

x-5=16

x=5+16

x=21

therefore 21 is the number

that is the correct answer

or if the question 3 a number then here is thr answer

actually I haven't understand the question yet.

Let the number be x

3 times into x=3x

and using those calculations from the first example

that is

3x-5=16

3x=16+5

3x=21

x=21/3

x=7
