Aylin Case · Answer 1

Form an equation using the information provided

x = number

(x + 5) / 9 = 3

multiply by 9

x + 5 = 27

then solve

x = 22

Crystal · Answer 2

You are simply reversing the equation

(X+5) / 9=3

First times 3 by 9 giving you 27

X+5=27

Now subtract 5 to get your answer

27-5=22

and 22 is your answer!
