Question

The result obtained by subtracting 5 from eight times of a number is 4 more than the five times of that number. Find those numbers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:let the no be "x"

given that

8x - 5 = 5x + 4

3x = 9  

x = 3

so the answer is 3

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number  of subtractions be = n

Thus,

When 5 is subtracted from 8 times then the number becomes = 5n - 8

When 4 is more than 5 times of the number it becomes - 5n + 4

Equating both the equations we will get -

5n - 8 = 5n + 4

5n - 5n = 4 + 8

n = 12

Therefore, the required number will be 12.
