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?(1 point)Responses

Answer 1

Let's call the number of stamps Jaylan has as "x".
According to the information given, we can set up the following equation:
5x - 10 = 275.
Now, let's solve the equation for x:
5x = 275 + 10,
5x = 285,
x = 285/5,
x = 57.
So, Jaylan has 57 stamps. Answer: \boxed{57}.
