Question 935167
a number when multiplied by 5 exceeds itself by 32.
<pre>
Interpret that this way:
</pre>
When you multiply this number by 5 you get another number which is this number
plus 32.
<pre>
Then say it this way:
</pre>
This number multiplied by 5 equals this number plus 32.
<pre>
Then call this number "x"
</pre>
x multiplied by 5 equals x plus 32.
<pre>
Then you have
</pre>
5x = x+32
<pre>
Can you solve that equation? Bet you can!
