A number was subtracted from 13 and that difference was then divided by 11. After which, the quotient was multiplied by 8. This product was 8. What was the number?
Solution:
Let x be the number subtracted from 13 such that the difference is 13-x
divide that resulting difference by 11, then it becomes (13-x)/11
Multiply the quotient by 8 then the expression becomes ( (13-x)/11)*8
the product comes to 8 then ((13-x)/11)*8=8 solve the equation divide
both sides by 8, then (13-x)/11 = 1 cross multiply 13-x=11 add -13 to both sides -13+13-x=11-13, -x=-2. x=2 Therefore the number is 2
