1. Let the number be x
2. According to the problem, the difference of 97 and eighteen times the number ( 18x 5(x+1)
The equation can be written as:
97 - 18x = 5(x + 1)
3. Expand the term on the right-hand side:
5(x + 1) = 5x + 5
4. Substitute back into the equation:
97 - 18x = 5x + 5
5. Bring all terms involving x
97 - 5 = 18x + 5x
6. Simplify both sides:
92 = 23x
7. Solve for x
x = \frac{92}{23} = 4
Therefore, the number is x = 4
