Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

4 times x = 4x

add 7 to it:  4x + 7

8 times x : 8x

Then subtract 5: 8x - 5

8x - 5 = 4x +7

add 5 to both sides

8x -5 + 5 = 4x + 7 + 5

8x = 4x + 12     { subtract 4x from both sides}

8x - 4x = 4x + 12 -4x

4x = 12    {Now divide both sides by 4}

4x/4= 12/4

x = 3

4a+7=8a-5

Collect like terms

8a-4a=7+5

4x + y = 2<br> I need to solve the literal equation for y.
Mama L [17]

Answer: y=2−4x

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for y in this problem(4x+y=2) we need to get y by itself in the equation. To do this we need to move 4x over to the right side of the equation. To do this we subtract, 4x from both sides of the equation.
