Answer:
the answer is 16.5 or when runner becomes 17.
Step-by-step explanation:
The product of a number and five
= the number is always replaced by a variable. and I used
[tex]x[/tex]
[tex]5 \times x[/tex]
less than the number is 66
=
[tex]5 \times x - x = 66[/tex]
[tex] = 5x - x = 66[/tex]
[tex]4x = 66[/tex]
you divide both sides by 4 since we want X to stand alone .
[tex] \frac{4x}{4} = \frac{66}{4} [/tex]
[tex]4 \: will \: cancel \: 4 \: and \: 66[/tex]
[tex]giving \: you \: 16.5 \: or \: when \: run \: becomes17[/tex]
