Question

At a local hardware store, the number of bolts, b, is 26 less than five times the number of nuts, n. write an equation that matches this information?

Answer 1

b=5n-26
hope this helps

Answer 2

`b=5n-26`

Explanation:

We are given that a number of bolts b is 26 less than five times the number of nuts n

We have to write an equation that matches given information

Number of bolts=b

Number of nuts =n

Multiply n by 5 then we get

`5* n=5 n`

Subtract 26 from 5n

Then we get 5n-26

`b=5n-26`

Hence, this is required equation .
