Answer 2

Heya mate! Here is your answer ✌☺☺



Let the number be x

Eight times a number = 8x

Eight times a number increased by 23 = 8x + 23

Given, their sum = 119


According to the question,

8x + 23 = 119

➾ 8x = 119 - 23

➾ 8x = 96

➾ x = $\dfrac{96}{2}$

➾ x = 12




∴ The number is 12✔✔



Verification :-

8x + 23 = 119

➾ 8 × 12 + 23 = 119

➾ 96 + 23 = 119

➾ 119 = 119

∴ LHS = RHS✔✔
