Answer:
Your answer is 4
Step-by-step explanation:
(x-5/2)*8 = 3x
x-5/2 = 3/8*x
2x-5 = 3/4*x
8x - 20 = 3x
8x - 3x = 20
5x = 20
x = 20/5
x = 4

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?
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)
Solution:-
3x = 8(x-5/2)
3x=8x -20
20=5x
x=4
So, the number she thought is 4.
