Question

Write an equation for the given statement. I think of a number, divide it by 3 and then subtract 8 .The answer is 4.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s call the unknown number X.

From this first line “A number is subtracted from 3”, the result of this equation is (3-X).

Reading the next line, “the results is multiplied by 4 and the answer is 8, we can derive that the equation is: (3-X) x 4 = 8.

So then we can solve for X to find the number

(3 - X) x 4 = 8

3 - X = 8/4

3 - X = 2

X = 3 - 2

X = 1

The answer is 1.

just change the number.
