Answer 2

Answer:

Question

what must be subtracted from 61/5 to get 5?

Solution

Let the number be x.

A/q

$\frac{61}{5} - x = 5$

$= > \frac{61 - 5x}{5} = 5$

$= > 61 - 5x = 5 \times 5$

$= > 61 - 5x = 25$

$= > - 5x = 25 - 61$

$= > - 5x = - 36$

$= > x = \frac{ - 36}{ - 5}$

$= > x = 7.2$

Therefore, the number is 7.2
