Let's represent the unknown number as "x." The equation for "five less than a number is 15" can be written as x - 5 = 15. To solve for x, we add 5 to both sides of the equation, resulting in x = 20. Therefore, the number in question is 20.

That means that the sum of the number's factors, less than the number itself, is less than the number in question - in this case, if you add the factors of 15 (except 15 itself, which is also a factor of 15), you get a total that is less than 15.


Five less than the quotient of a number and 4 is 15 What is the number?

Let's denote the number as x. The quotient of the number and 4 is x/4. Five less than this quotient would be (x/4) - 5. The equation we have is (x/4) - 5 = 15. By solving this equation, we find that x = 80.
