<PRE><B>Question 84695</B>
My Problem Is To Figure Out What:
Ten Plus 6 times a number is equal to 5 less than the number.
Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated;}
Kia Jayy,Thank YOu
LET THE REQUIRED NUMBER BE X
6 TIMES THE NUMBER=6X
TEN PLUS TO IT =6X+10
THIS=5 LESS THAN THE NUMBER=X-5
6X+10=X-5
6X-X=-5-10
5X=-15
X=-3
