Respuesta :

To solve this problem, first we need to subtract 5 from 41, which gives us 36.  Then we divide it by 3.  The answer is 13.  We used inverse operations to solve this problem.
You have to use inverse operations to solve this. The opposite of addiction is subtraction. So 41-5=36. The opposite of multiplication is division and 36/3 is 12. The number is 12.
