Answer:

When a number is divided by 8, the result is –3. The number is?

Step-by-step explanation:

• In the question we are given that, there is one number and when that one number is divided by the another that is 8, then we get the result that is answer obtained from dividing that number is 13.
• So we have to find out the first number.
• Let suppose the number which is divided by 8 be x.
• So according to given condition-
• X/ 8= -3
• Therefore, here we have to find out the value of x.
• $\frac{x}{8}=-3\\ x= -3 \times 8\\x= -24$
• The value of x is -24
• So the number is -24.
• When -24 is divided by 8 then the answer is -3.

Lets check it-$\frac{-24}{8}\\ =-3$ is true.

Hence, when the number is divided by 8, then the result is -3 and the number is -24.
