Question

If you take a number, times by 3 then add 5. You get the same as if you took the number, times by 7 then subtract 8. What is the number?

Answer 1

Answer:

3*3=6+5=11*7=77-8=69it is my answer

Answer 2

The number is "$\dfrac{13}{4}$".

Step-by-step explanation:

Let I take a number = x

The number, times by 3 then add 5 = 3x + 5

Also,

The number, times by 7 then subtract 8 = 7x - 8

According to question,

3x + 5 = 7x - 8

⇒ 7x - 4x = 5 + 8 = 13

⇒ 4x = 13

⇒ x = $\dfrac{13}{4}$

Hence, the number is "$\dfrac{13}{4}$".
