Let's call the number of stamps Jaylan has as x.
According to the given information, the equation can be formed as:
5x - 10 = 275
Adding 10 to both sides of the equation:
5x = 285
Dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
x = 285/5
Simplifying the equation:
x = 57
Therefore, Jaylan has 57 stamps.
If Jaylan takes the number of stamps he has and multiplies it by 5 and then subtracts 10, he gets 275. How many stamps does he have?
