ProfessorYour question has me a little bit confused. First you say you want the "sum", so I get
ready to do addition. But then you go ahead and talk about "times", and that usually
means multiplying.
If you want the sum:
24 + (-5x) + (-x) = 24 - 6x and that's also the same as 6 (4 - x) .
If you want the 'product':
(24) times (-5x) times (-x) = 120x2 .
Either way, the answer stands for a number, but you can't figure out what the
number is until you know what number 'x' is.

The sum of a number and five times the same number is 24?
Let the number be x: 5x+x = 24 6x = 24 x = 4
Eleven less than 5 times a number is 24?
5x - 11 = 24 5x = 35 x = 7
Four more than five times a number is 24 What is the number?
2.6666666666666 infinite , or 4. Depending how the question is actually worded. if it is: 4 + (5x) = 24 then x is 4 Proof: 5x + 4 = 24 5x = 24 -4 5x = 20 x = 20/5 = 4 if it is: (4 + 5)x = 24 then x is 2.6666666 infinite Proof: (4+5)x = 24 9x = 24 x = 24/9 = 2 6/9 = 2.6666666 ....
What is the sum of 24-5x-x?
Let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of this equation. First, we combine like terms: -5x and -x become -6x. Then, we add 24 to get our final answer, which is 24-6x. Just like painting a happy little tree, math can be a wonderful adventure of simplifying and combining elements to find the sum.
What are the two real numbers of the solution to x squared - 5x equals 24?
X2 - 5X = 24 X2 - 5X - 24 = 0 (X - 8)(X + 3) X = 8 ----------------and X = - 3 --------------
