Let us consider the number to be 'n'.

<u>Given condition</u> :

  • 7n + 8 = 5n + 4

<u>Subtract '5n' from each side</u> :

  • 7n + 8 - 5n = 5n + 4 - 5n
  • 2n + 8 = 4

<u>Subtract '8' from each side</u> :

  • 2n + 8 - 8 = 4 - 8
  • 2n = -4

<u>Divide '2' from each side</u> :

  • 2n/2 = -4/2
  • \fbox {n = -2}

∴ The number is -2.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm taking this to mean

x = 0.255555555555... If this is not correct, leave a note. Multiply by 100

100 x = 25.55555555555555 ...     Divide by 10

  10x =    2.55555555555555 ...     Subtract

90 x = 23

x = 23/90    

Try putting 23/90 in your calculator. You will find it is 0.25555555... just what you were given
