Question

Five times a number is the same as 30 more than 8 times the number. Find the number.

If n is "the number," which equation could be used to solve for the number?

3n = 30
5n + 8n = 30
5n = 8n + 30

Answer 1

☺️hey mate! here's your answer!☺️

since number = n

so, 5 times of number = 5×n = 5n

and , 30 more than 8 times the number = 8n + 30

so, According to the question,

equation formed :-


" 5n = 8n + 30 "

hope it is helpful ✌️!

Answer 2

Given

5 times a number is same as 30 more than 8 times the number

Find

Equation for finding the the number

Solution

Let the number be n

As it is given that 5 times the number = 5 * n      .................(1)

30 more than 8 times the number = 30 + 8 *n    .................(2)

It is given that 5 times a number is same as 30 more than 8 times the number which means

Equation (1) = Equation (2)

5 * n = 30 + 8 * n

5n = 8n + 30

Equation used for solving for the number is 5n = 8n + 30
