Question

Write the equation for the following statement 5 Times a number subtraction from 2 is 12

Answer 1

5x-2 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

so 5 times x= 5x

5x-2 = 12

equation: 5x-2 = 12

also if you want to solve the same equation then,

5x-2 = 12

5x = 12+2

5x= 14

x= 14/5

14/5 = 2.8

x= 2.8
