Answer 2

Given :

• if 8 is added to 4 times a number the result is two less than 5 times a number.

To Find :

• The another number.

Solution :

Let, the number be (x)

According to the question :

• If 8 is added to 4 times a number = (8 + 4x)
• The result is 2 less than 5 times a number = (5x - 2)

༒ 8 + 4x = 5x - 2

⪼ 8 + 2 = 5x - 4x

⪼ 10 = x

Verification :

• Putting (x = 10) in (8 + 4x = 5x - 2)

⪼ 8 + 4x = 5x - 2

⪼ 8 + 4(10) = 5(10) - 2

⪼ 8 + 40 = 50 - 2

⪼ 48 = 48

LHS = RHS

Hence Verified
