Correct Question:

  • Amina thinks of a number and subtracts 5/2 from it. She multiplies the result by 8. The result now obtained is 3 times the same number she thought of. What is the number?

To Find:

  • The number.

Solution:

Let the number she thought be X

ATQ,

she subtract the 5/2 from the no.= x-5/2

She multiply the result by 8 =8(x-5/2)

Equation:

3x = 8(x-5/2)

3x=8x -20

20=5x

x=4

Therefore, the number she thought is 4.
