Question

I think of a number, then I multiply it by $5$ and subtract $6.$ Which of the following expressions best describes my number?

• A. $5r-6$
• B. $6-5r$
• C. $\frac{5}{r}-6$
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A $5r-6$

Suppose my number is $r$

On Multiplication by $5,$ it will become $5r$

Now, on subtracting $6,$ it will become $5r-6$

Therefore, the expression that best describes my number is $5r-6.$

Hence, option (a.) is the correct choice.
