Question

Danni thinks of a number. She subtracts 2 then multiples the result by 8. The answer is the same as subtracting 5 from the number then multiplying by 16. What is the number did Danni think of?

Answer 1

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number=x

8(x-2)=16(x-5)

divide by 8

x-2=2(x-5)

x-2=2x-10

2x-x=-2+10

x=8
