Subtract a number divided by 6 from 1 and the difference is 5.

1 - x/6 = 5

Why did the number go to therapy?

Because 1 minus a divided heart equals 5 plus self-discovery!

Let's solve this step-by-step.

Let's say the number is x.

The problem states that when we subtract x divided by 6 from 1, the difference is 5.

So, we can write this as an equation:

1 - (x/6) = 5

To solve for x, we will isolate x on one side of the equation.

First, we can start by getting rid of the fraction by multiplying both sides of the equation by 6:

6 * (1 - (x/6)) = 6 * 5

Simplifying the equation:

6 - x = 30

Next, we can isolate x by subtracting 6 from both sides of the equation:

- x = 30 - 6

Simplifying:

- x = 24

To solve for x, we need to isolate it by multiplying both sides of the equation by -1:

(-1) * (- x) = (-1) * 24

Simplifying:

x = -24

Therefore, the number x is -24.

To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step.

Step 1: Let's assume the unknown number is represented by the variable "x".

Step 2: We are told to subtract "a number divided by 6" from 1. So we can write the equation as:
1 - (x/6)

Step 3: According to the problem, the difference between 1 and "a number divided by 6" is 5. Therefore, we can set up the equation as follows:
1 - (x/6) = 5

Step 4: To isolate the variable "x" on one side of the equation and find its value, we need to get rid of the constant term of 1. We can do this by subtracting 1 from both sides of the equation:
1 - (x/6) - 1 = 5 - 1
-x/6 = 4

Step 5: Next, multiply both sides of the equation by 6 to eliminate the fraction:
6 * ( -x/6 ) = 4 * 6
-x = 24

Step 6: Finally, to solve for "x", multiply both sides of the equation by -1 to change the sign of "x":
(-1) * (-x) = (-1) * 24
x = -24

Therefore, the unknown number is -24.
