Question

Seven more than the product of a number and 5 equals 9. use variable x for the unknown number

Answer 1

Hello there!

Simply place it into an equation:
(
`x` x 5) + 7 = 9
Then you solve:
9 - 7 = 2.
2/4 = 0.4.
x = 0.4
Check it:
0.4 x 5 = 2, 2 + 7 = 9.

In short,
`x` = 0.4.

Hope This Helps You!
Good Luck :)
