Question

What number gives the result of -3 when 10 is subtracted from the quotient of the number and five

Answer 1

The number is 35

Explanation:

If we allow n to represent the number, we can find it using the following equation:

(-3 = n/5 - 10) + 10

(7 = n/5) * 5

35 = n

Thus, 35 gives the result of -3 when 10 is subtracted from the quotient of 35 and 5.
