the difference of nine times a number and five
the sum of five times a number and five
the difference of five times a number and nine
what’s the answer

The difference of five times a number and nine

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct option is the difference of five times a number and nine.

Let the number be = x

Five times a number = 5x

Here difference means subtraction:

The difference of five times a number and nine would be 5x-9

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

in the given figure, two triangles are inscribed in a circle where ∠bae ≅ ∠dae which makes the side be and de equal so we can write it as:

3x - 24 = x + 10

solving this equation for x to get:

3x - x = 10 + 24

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

therefore, the value of x = 17.
