Step-by-step explanation:
1)Let the number be y
2y + 8 = 20
Now , transposing 8 to the other side
2y = 20 - 8
2y = 12
Therefore y = 12/2
=6
So, the number Xavier thought of was 6.
2) Let the number be x
x/4 - 3= 2
Transposing 3 to the other side
x/4 = 2 + 3 = 5
x/4 = 5
Therefore, x = 5 × 4 = 20
The number Sasha thought of was 20
3) Let the number be z
5z + 10 = 7z
Transposing 5z to the other side
10 = 7z - 5z = 2z
10 = 2z
Therefore z = 10/2 = 5
The number Anders thought of was 5
4) Let the number be n
(n + 1) 3 = 4n - 4
3n + 3 = 4n - 4
Transposing
3 + 4 = 4n - 3n
n = 7
The number Ahmad thought of was 7
5) Let the number be m
(m - 6) 5 = (m - 5) 4
5m - 30 = 4m - 20
Transposing
5m - 4m = (-20) + 30
m = 10
The number Zalika thought of was 10
