Question

Find a number if 25 less than three times the number equal eight times the difference obtained when number is subtracted from 1

Answer 1

Answer:

The number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us suppose that the number is x

So the equation will be something like this :-

= 3x - 25 = 8 ( 1 - x )

= 3x - 25 = 8 - 8x

= 3x + 8x = 8 + 25

= 11x = 33

= x = 33/11

=> x = 3

Now, let us recheck our answer by putting the value of x

= ( 3 × 3 ) - 25 = 8 ( 1 - 3 )

= 9 - 25 = 8 - 24

= -16 = -16

It means our answer is Right.

Hope you get the answer
