To solve the problem, we need to set up an equation.
Let's say Jaylan has x number of stamps.
According to the problem, if he multiplies the number of stamps he has by 5 and then subtracts 10, he gets 275.
So the equation can be written as: 5x - 10 = 275.
To solve for x, we can add 10 to both sides of the equation and then divide both sides by 5:
5x - 10 + 10 = 275 + 10
5x = 285
x = 285/5
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?(1 point)
