Eleven less than 5 times a number is 24.
5x - 11 = 24
5x = 35
x = 7
(11-5)n=24
This is what I think it is
What is the answer ?
Eleven minus 3
To solve this problem, let's first assign a variable to the unknown number. Let's call it "x."
We are given the information that "eleven less than 5 times a number is 24." This can be written as the equation:
5x - 11 = 24
To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. Let's solve for x step by step:
1. Add 11 to both sides of the equation:
5x - 11 + 11 = 24 + 11
5x = 35
2. Divide both sides of the equation by 5:
(5x)/5 = 35/5
x = 7
Therefore, the number we were looking for is 7.
