The sum of 5 times a number and 16 is 31.
What is the number?
Enter your answer in the box.

I will do a step by step explanation to help you.

First, subtract 16 from 31 so you can simplify what you need to find. We will call the unknown number X. So 5x = 15

15/5 = 3 so X = 3

Lets plug in X

3 x 5 + 16 = 31

Makes sense!

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, we'll have to do a quick equation.

31 - 16 = 15

Now, we can divide 15 by 5.

15 ÷ 5 = 3

So now we know that the sum of 5 times a number and 16 is 3 because:

3 x 5 = 15

15 + 16 = 31

So therefore, your answer is 3.
