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

Answer 1

5n = 8n + 30 is the answer

explanation

5   x(times)   n(number)   = (is) 30 +(more) 8   x(times)  n (number)

5 x n   = 30  +  8xn

5n = 30 + 8n  or 5n = 8n + 30

Answer 2

Answer:

n=10

Step-by-step explanation:

5n+30=8n

therefore,

n=10
