Julio says, If you subtract 18 from my number and multiply the difference by -5 , the result is-80 . What is s number?

34 is your answer

Step-by-step explanation:

34-18=16

16(-5)=-80

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation using the given information:

"Multiply the difference" suggests that the subtraction should be done first. Following PEMDAS, in order to get subtraction done first, it would need to be in parentheses:

Then you would multiply that difference by -5:

Now set the expression as equal to -80:

Now you can solve for s. Use the distributive property:

Isolate the variable s. Subtract 90 from both sides:

Divide both sides by -5:

Your number is 34.

:Done

Insert the value of s into the equation to determine if true:

This is true, so the value of s is correct.

so then what are you asking?
