Question

What number is ten thousand less than 842,719?

Answer 1

The number is `832719`.

Explanation:

Translate the English sentence into math. For example, "is" means equals "ten thousand less than ___" means a number minus `10000`.

`stackrel(n) overbrace("What number") " " stackrel(=) overbrace("is") " " stackrel(842719-10000) overbrace("ten thousand less than 842,719") "?"`

Now copy down the equation and solve for `n`:

`n=842719-10000`

`n=832719`

That's the number. Hope this helped!
