sorry didn't have enough room for the question.

A number is multiplied by 11. Next, 125 is subtracted from the product. Then 28 is added to the difference. If the result is 90, what is the number? Explain

Work backwards

90-28

=62+125

=187/11

=17 :) hope i could help! Good luck!

Set up the equation with the number youre looking for as 'x'

11x-125+28=90

-28 -28

11x-125=62

+125 +125

11x=187

/11 /11



x=17

The only number that does that is 17.



If you go through the process in reverse (subtract 28 from 90, add 125, and devide by 11, you get 17) You can then go through it again normally with 17 to find out that it is the answer.

purely translate the words into equations. If the numerator is 6 under the denominator, then the fraction is (x-6)/x for some huge style "x". you're advised that in case you upload 3 to the numerator, the fraction is comparable to 2/3. So: (x-6 + 3)/x = 2/3. Multiply the two factors of this by potential of x and additionally you get: (x - 6 + 3) = 2x/3 upload the three to the -6, multiply the two factors by potential of three, etc. and sparkling up for x: (x - 3) = 2x/3 3*(x - 3) = 2x 3x - 9 = 2x 3x - 2x - 9 = 0 x - 9 = 0 x = 9 the unique question nonetheless became into to discover the fraction. We mentioned it became into interior this style of (x-6)/x. So plug in x-9, and additionally you get "3/9". it extremely is the respond. do no longer shrink the fraction to a million/3, via fact in spite of the fact that it is the conventional convention, "a million/3" does not describe the unique fraction we are searching for (the place the numerator is 6 under the denominator). lower back, the FRACTION we might like is "3/9".

17(90-28=187/11=17)

(11X)-125+28=90



11x=90+125-28



11x=187



x=187/11

x=17







he number is 17

Use order of operation

Parentheses is first ( )

Exponents is second X to the power of X

Multiplication/Division is third

Addition/Subtraction is last



to remember it, think, Please (Parentheses) Excuses (Exponents) My (Multiplaction) Dear (Division) Sally (Subtraction)



Hope i helped!
