Twenty-four minus 5 times a number is fifteen.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

5 times a number = 5x

24 - 5x = 15

-5x = 15-24

-5x = -9

x= -9/-5

x = 9/5

or x = 1.8

1 4/5 or 1.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let y be the missing number

Step 1: From the question, write out an equation

24 - 5 × y= 15

24- 5y = 15

Make y the subject of formula

-5y= 15 - 24

-5y = -9

Divide both sides by -5

y = -9/-5

= 1 4/5 or 1.8.

Check;

Slot in the value of y into the generated equation

24- 5(1.8)= 15

24-9= 15

15 = 15
