Question

Frame an equation for: Subtract 7 from 8 times a number, you get 75.​

Answer 1

From the question, it is given that the number 55 is subtracted from three times a number, then the result is 1616.

Let us assume the number be xx, so now we have to frame the equation according to the question

Therefore, the equation is given by

⇒3x−5=16⇒3x−5=16

Now taking the constant term to the right side, so we get

⇒3x=16+5⇒3x=16+5

Now solving the addition part of the right side equation, we get

⇒3x=21⇒3x=21

So taking the constant term to the right side in the denominator, we get

⇒x=213⇒x=213

On solving the division, we get

⇒x=7
