The product of Greg's age and 5 is 55
Use the variable G to represent Greg's age
5 times Greg's age is 55, 5 G = 55
so
Gregg's age is 55/5 or G = 55/5
which is
11
11 + 11 + 11 + 11 + 11 = 55
5G = 55
To represent Greg's age using the variable G, we can write the equation as:
G * 5 = 55
To find the value of G, we can divide both sides of the equation by 5:
G * 5 / 5 = 55 / 5
Simplifying, we get:
G = 11
Therefore, Greg's age, represented by the variable G, is 11.
To solve this problem, we need to write an equation based on the information given. Let's use the variable G to represent Greg's age.
According to the problem, the product of Greg's age and 5 is 55. We can express this as an equation:
5G = 55
Now, all we need to do is solve the equation to find Greg's age. To do this, divide both sides of the equation by 5:
(5G)/5 = 55/5
This simplifies to:
G = 11
Therefore, Greg's age is 11.
