Question

A certain number was divided by 3, 3 was added to the result. the final answer is 8. what is the?​

Answer 1

Answer:

number is 15.

Step-by-step explanation:

let H is the number.

H is divided by 3, = H/3

3 was added to the result = H/3 + 3

final answer is 8, then

8 = H/3 + 3

8-3 = H/3

5 = H/3

H= 5×3

H = 15

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's give a name to the number we are looking for and call it n.

So we can then write "A number is divided by 3" as n/3

To add 5 to the quotient would then give us the expression n/3 + 5

If this results in 8 we can finally write the equation we are trying to solve and solve the equation for n while keeping the equation balanced:

n/3+5=8

n/5+5-5=8-5

n/3+0=3

n/3=3

3*n/3=3*3

1n=9

n=9
