Question

elise says, "if you subtract 16 from from my number and multiply the difference by -5, the result is -60 what is my number

Answer 1

Your number is 28

Explanation:

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

((n - 16) * -5 = -60) / -5

(n - 16 = 12) + 16

n = 28

Thus, your number is 28.
