If you mean: 24 - x/6 = -5 then the value of x works out as 174
The appropriate equation is: 24 - n/6 = -5
The equation is : 24x + 6 = -5
24 - x/6 = -5 24 - 29 = -5 x/6 = 29 x = 174

5-x=2
The equation is : 24x + 6 = -5
2x-5 is twice a number decreased by 5.
24 - x/6 = -5 24 - 29 = -5 x/6 = 29 x = 174

let x = number 3/5 x - 1 = 23 3/5x = 24 3x = 120 x = 40
let x is the number then: 6x-5=19 6x=24x=4. ANS
Assuming the number is S: A - 5 ≤ 33
x-5>=7 x>=12
