Question

If you subtract (-8) from a number and multiply the result by 2, you get 16, what is the number?​

Answer 1

Answer:

solution:

Let, a required number be x.

According to the question,

                  {x-8}*2=16

               or,2x-16=16

               or,2x=36

               or,x=18

∴ the required number is 16

◈ The Unknown Number?

$\rule{110}1$

$\huge\sf\purple{Steps}$

Let us assume the number as x

❍ Firstly number is subtracted (-8)

≫ $\sf{x-(-8)}$

≫ $\sf{x+8}$

❍ Second number is multiplied by 2

≫ $\sf{2\times(x+8)}$

≫ $\sf{2(x+8)}$

$\bullet\:\underline{\textsf{As Per the Question}}$

➝ $\sf{ 2(x+8)=16}$

➝ $\sf{ 2x+16=16}$

➝ $\sf{ 2x=16-16}$

➝ $\sf{ 2x=0}$

➝ $\sf{ x=\dfrac{0}{2}}$

➝ $\sf{\orange{ x = 0}}$
