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

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.
