The difference of 5 times a number and 3 equals 7.
What is the number?

2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation would be 5x - 3 = 7. "x" replaces "a number." First you would add 3 to both sides, simplifying to 5x = 10. Now, just divide 5 from both sides, getting the answer, x = 2. So, the number is 2. You can check your work by putting it back into the equation: 5(2) - 3 = 7 goes to 10 - 3 = 7 which goes to

7 = 7.

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
