Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let "a number" = x

44 = 8x - 4

Simplify. Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

First add 4 to both sides:

44 (+4) = 8x - 4 (+4)

44 + 4 = 8x

48 = 8x

Isolate the variable, x. Divide 8 from both sides:

(48)/8 = (8x)/8

x = 48/8

x = 6

6 is your answer.

The quotient of a number and 5, less 10, is 3

sergejj [24]

Quotient is the result of division. Assign a variable to the unknown number. Let's make it x. Write the statement as an equation.
x/5 - 10 = 3

solve for x

x/5 - 10 = 3
x/5 = 3 + 10
x/5 = 13
x = 5 × 13
x = 65
