Hi ,
Let the number = x
25 less than 3 times the number =
8 times ( 1 - number )
3x - 25 = 8( 1 - x )
3x - 25 = 8 - 8x
3x + 8x = 8 + 25
11x = 33
x = 33/11
x = 3
Therefore ,
the required number = x = 3
I hope this helps you.

Step-by-step explanation:
Question: find a number if 25 less than three times the number equals eight times the difference obtained. When number is subtracted from 1
Sol.
Let the number = x
25 less than 3 times the number = 8 times (1 - number )
3x-25=8(1-x)
3x-25 = 8-8x
3x + 8x = 8 + 25
11x = 33
x = 33/11
x = 3
Therefore,
the required number = x = 3
