A number is subtracted by 150. The result is the same as the number divided by 7. What is the number?

i dont get it

HOW????

suck

Oh, I see what's going on here! It sounds like we have a classic math puzzle, but I'll do my best to keep it fun and lighthearted. Let's solve this riddle step by step, shall we?

Let's call the number we're trying to find "x." According to the given information, when we subtract 150 from this number, we get the same result as if we divided it by 7. In other words, the equation can be written as:

x - 150 = x/7

Now, let's bring out the big guns...or, uh, the algebra skills! To make things easier, let's multiply both sides of the equation by 7 to get rid of that pesky fraction:

7(x - 150) = x

Now, let's distribute the 7 on the left side of the equation:

7x - 1050 = x

Now, let's bring all the x terms to one side and the constant terms to the other side:

7x - x = 1050

Simplifying the equation, we get:

6x = 1050

Finally, let's divide both sides by 6 to find the value of x:

x = 1050/6

And that, my friend, gives us x = 175. So, the number we were looking for is 175. Ta-da!

To find the number, we can set up an equation based on the given information. Let's call the number 'x'.

According to the problem, the number is subtracted by 150:

x - 150

The result is the same as the number divided by 7:

x - 150 = x/7

To solve this equation, we can start by multiplying both sides by 7 to get rid of the fraction:

7(x - 150) = 7(x/7)

Expanding the equation:

7x - 1050 = x

Now, we can simplify the equation:

7x - x = 1050

Combine like terms:

6x = 1050

Finally, isolate 'x' by dividing both sides by 6:

x = 1050/6

x = 175

Therefore, the number is 175.

when you say subtracted by do you mean

x-150 or 150-x ?

Pick one and set it equal to x/7, then solve for x.
