You can put this solution on YOUR website!
n = the integer
Adding 5 to the right side means moving every digit of the number one position over
(multiplying the number times 10) and then adding 5.
You end up with the number
10n%2B5
If that is 50000 more than the original number,
10n%2B5=n%2B50000

We have our equation, so let's solve.
10n%2B5=n%2B50000
10n%2B5-5-n=n%2B50000-5-n
9n=50000-5
9n=49995
9n%2F9=49995%2F9
highlight%28n=5555%29
