Answer:

The number is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

First let's turn this into an equation

5 times a number (we'll use x) + 34 = 24

5x+34= 24

Now to start solving the problem

First thing's first, let's carry over the 34 to the other side by subtracting 34 from both sides. This helps us try to get x by itself

5x+34 = 24

     -34     -34

5x = -10

Now we just divide both sides by 5 to get rid of it entirely from the x

5x = -10

/5      /5

x = -2

Your number should be -2

We can also check by plugging -2 back into the equation for x

5 (-2) +34 = 24

-10 +34 = 24

24 = 24

Since they are both equal, -2 is really your answer

I hope this helps :)
