Five times a number minus - 11 is equal to 16 minus the number

I'm probably late but I'm going to solve it anyway.

Let n = "a number." We will use it to translate the words into an equation.

"five times a number" translates to 5 * n or 5(n) or 5n. I will use the last one.

"minus - 11" is - (- 11)

"16 minus the number" is 16 - n

Now set everything in place and solve:

5n - (- 11) = 16 - n

First, simplify. The two negatives right next to each other, - (- 11) is like multiplying by a negative. A negative times a negative is a positive.

5n + 11 = 16 - n

Now, subtract 11 from both sides and add n to both sides to get constants on one side of the equal sign and variables on the other:

5n + n = 16 - 11

Combine like terms:

6n = 5

Divide by 6 on both sides to isolate the variable:

n = 5/6

Your number is 5/6

it is c, trust i got your back lol

step-by-step explanation:

hello :

by applying the distributive property :

6 × 4.3 = 6 × ( 4 + 0.3 )

            =   (6 ×   4) + (6 ×   0.3)

            = 24 + 1.8

6 × 4.3 = 25.8
