Open in App

Solution

Writing the equation
A statement of equality which involves one or more variables is called an equation.
Let the number be $x$
$5$ times the number $\Rightarrow$ $5 x$
$5$ times a number subtracted from $24$ $\Rightarrow 24 - 5 x$
The LHS of the equation is $\Rightarrow 24 - 5 x$ and RHS of the equation is $9$
Hence the required equation is $24 - 5 x = 9$
