The quotient of a number and five is eight less than the number. What is the number?

1 answer:

6 0

The number is 10.
x/5 = x-8
You multiply both sides by 5.
x = 5(x-8)
x = 5x-40
Subtract 5x from both sides
-4x = -40
x= -40 / -4
x=10

Answer:

x=125

Step-by-step explanation:

∠PAT=180° - ∠ATP - ∠APT

∠PAT=180 - 3x - 3 -4x -4= (173 - 7x)°

3x + 3 + 4x + 4 + 173-7x = 180

⇔x = 125
