Step-by-step explanation:

\bf{\underline{\underline\red{Given:-}}}

  • Bhavee thinks of a number and subtracts 5/2 from it.

  • Then she multiplies the result by 8.

  • The final result is three times her original number.

\bf{\underline{\underline\blue{To\:Find:-}}}

  • The original number.

\bf{\underline{\underline\green{Solution:-}}}

\sf Let \:the\: original \:number\: be\: x

\sf\pink{\underline{Case\: 1:-}}

\sf She\: subtracts \: \dfrac{5}{2}\: from\:the\:number

 \implies \sf  x -  \dfrac{5}{2}

 \implies \sf    \dfrac{2(x) - 5}{2}

 \implies \sf    \dfrac{2x- 5}{2}

\sf   The \: resulting\: number=  \dfrac{2x- 5}{2}

\sf\orange{\underline{Case\: 2:-}}

\sf The\: resulting \:number \:is \:multiplied\: by \:8

 \implies \sf    8 \bigg(\dfrac{2x- 5}{2}  \bigg)

 \implies \sf     {4(2x- 5)}

 \implies \sf     {8x- 20}

 \implies \sf The\:final\:result =    {8x- 20}

\sf\red{\underline{Case\: 3:-}}

The final result is three times the original number.

 \sf   The \: final \: result = 3(original \: number)

 \sf  \implies8x - 20 = 3(x)

 \sf  \implies8x - 20 = 3x

 \sf  \implies8x - 3x= 20

 \sf  \implies5x= 20

 \sf  \implies x=  \dfrac{20}{5}

 \sf  \implies x=  4

Let's check the result:-

Let us check by substituting 4 as the original number

\sf She\: subtracts \: \dfrac{5}{2}\: from\:the\:number

 \implies \sf  4 -  \dfrac{5}{2}

 \implies \sf   \dfrac{8-5}{2}

 \implies \sf   \dfrac{3}{2}

 \implies \sf Result=   \dfrac{3}{2}

\sf The\: result \:\:is \:multiplied\: by \:8

 \implies \sf    \dfrac{3}{2} \times 8

 \implies \sf 3\times 4

 \implies \sf 12

The final result is three times the original number.

 \sf   The \: final \: result = 3(original \: number)

 \implies \sf  12 = 3(4)

 \implies \sf  12 = 12

RHS = LHS

Hence verified

  \underline{ \boxed{ \purple{\bf  \therefore The \: original \: number=  4 }}}
