Question

Jack is thinking of a number. Eight more than the product of 5 and the number is 93. How do you find Jack's number?

Answer 1

You do reverse pemdas

Explanation:

Converting the word problem to an equation, we get 8+(x*5)=93

doing reverse pemdas, we subtract 8 from both sides

(x*5)=85

Now we divide 5 from both sides

x=17
