Question

Multiplying my number by 5 and adding 8 to it gives the same answer as subtracting my 7 number from 20. find the number ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Your  number is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let your number be x

When we multiply x by 5, we get 5x

Which is, 5x + 8 = 20 - x

Transposing x to LHS and 8 to RHS, we get

5x + x = 20-8

6x = 12

x=12/6

x=2

Therefore, your number is 2.
