Question

if 8 added to four times a number,the result is five added to three times the number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let, the number be x

A.T.Q :

8 + (4 × x) = 5 + (3 × x)

8 + 4x = 5 + 3x

4x - 3x = 5 - 8

x = -3

Therefore; the number is -3

Answer 2

Required Answer:-

Given Statements:

• If 8 is added to four times a number, the result is five added to three times the number.

To Find:

• The number.

Solution:

→ Let us assume that the number is x.

So, 8 added to 4 times the number is,

= 8 + 4x

= 4x + 8

It is said that,

– "If 8 is added to four times a number, the result is 5 added to 3 times the number."

So, 5 added to 3 times the number is,

= 5 + 3x

= 3x + 5

Now, according to the given condition,

→ 4x + 8 = 3x + 5

On Solving,

→ 4x - 3x = 5 - 8

→ x = -3

★ So, the required number is -3.

Answer:

• The required number is - 3.
