42-15=27
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.

One-third of ANY number is less than half of that number - no matter what number you pick.
Let's represent the number as (x). The phrase "Eight less than five times a number" can be translated to (5x - 8), and "is seven more than the number" can be translated to (x + 7). Therefore, the algebraic equation representing the given phrase is (5x - 8 = x + 7).
If the number is 'z', then five less than twice the number is ( 2z - 5 ).
10n - 24 = 8n + 64 n = 44
Let ( b ) represent the number of CDs Bob has. According to the problem, Ann has 5 CDs, which is 3 less than twice the amount Bob has. This can be expressed as the equation: [ 5 = 2b - 3. ]
To solve the equation "Four less than the quotient of a number and 2 equals 8," we can represent the unknown number as ( x ). The equation can be written as (\frac{x}{2} - 4 = 8). Adding 4 to both sides gives (\frac{x}{2} = 12), and multiplying both sides by 2 results in ( x = 24). Thus, the number is 24.
