Anumber times 5,minus 6,is 8.write an equation to determine the number

5x - 6 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We know that we don't know the actual number. We can use x to sub in for that number.

2. We also know that the equivalent eventually gets us to 8, so write:

3. The equation multiplies the number by 5, and then subtracts 6. It must be in this order because of PEMDAS. Write like so:

You could solve it too, if you like:

Then feel free to check your answer, substituting 2.8 for x:

Hope that helped
