If 5 times a number increased by 30 is 15, what is the number?


Sagot :

Answer:

let x=the number

5x+30=15

5x=15-30

5x=-15

5x/5=-15/5

x=-3

Let's keep the,

Value of unknown number as y.

Then find the y,

→ 5y + 30 = 15

→ 5y = 15 - 30

→ 5y = -15

→ y = -15/5

→ [y = -3]

Therefore, -3 is the number.
