Question

Thirteen less than eight times a number is three more than four times the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

8x - 13 = 4x + 3              Add 13

8x = 4x + 3 + 13             Combine

8x = 4x + 16                   Subtract 4x

8x - 4x = 16                    Combine

4x = 16                           Divide by 4

x = 16/4

x = 4
