If a number is increased by five and the result is then divided by three, the result is seven. write an equation that models this verbal description and solve the equation for the number described.

Equation: X-5÷3=7
Solution: X = 26 over 3 or 8 and two thirds

5x÷3=7

5 is multiplying an unknown number which is being represented by x then dividing the expression by three which is = to 7.

if we were to simplify it produce x being equal to 4,2

1. Round 50.75 to 50 and 0.18 to 0.20.
50 x 0.2 = 10

2) Round 96 to 100 and 0.499 to 0.5
100 divided by 0.5 = 50

3a) Round 8.2 to 8, 6.7 to 7, and 0.46 to 0.50
8 x 7 divided by 0.50 = 112

3b) Round 23.4 to 20, 13.9 to 10, and 0.18 to 0.20
20 x 10 divided by 0.20 = 2,000
