sum of the number and 15. Find the number.​

Answer 1

Answer:

hope it will help (follow and like)

Step-by-step explanation:

232+4x=8(x+15)

232+4x=8x+120

232-120=8x-4x

4x=112

x=112/4

x=28

Answer 2

✬ Number = 28 ✬

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• 232 added to four times a number.
• After adding 232 number will equal to eight times the sum of the number and 15.

To Find:

• What is the number ?

Solution: Let the number be x. Therefore,

➟ Four times of number = 4x

➟ After adding 232 = (4x + 232)....(1)

A/q

• After adding 232 number will equal to eight times the sum of the number and 15.

➟ Sum of number and 15 = (x + 15)

➟ Eight time the sum of no. and 15 = 8(x + 15)...(2)

$\implies{\rm }$ Equation 1 = Equation 2

$\implies{\rm }$ (4x + 232) = 8(x + 15)

$\implies{\rm }$ 4x + 232 = 8x + 120

$\implies{\rm }$ 4x – 8x = 120 – 232

$\implies{\rm }$ – 4x = – 112

$\implies{\rm }$ 4x = 112

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 112/4

$\implies{\rm }$ x = 28

Hence, the number is 28.
