Question

Five times the sum of -2 and a number is 91 more than the sum of the opposite of the number and 1

Answer 1

Answer:

n or the number = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

5 * (-2 + n) = 91 + (-n + 1)

-10 + 5n = 19 - n + 1

6n = 20 + 10

6n/6 = 30/6

n = 5

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 51.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x and the opposite of a number is -x.

5(-2+x) = 91 + (-x + 1)

-10 + x = 91-x+1

-10 + 2x = 92

2x = 102

x = 51
