Question

Five more than the product of a number and 4 is equal to 8

Answer 1

Answer:

$4x+5=8$

$x=\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ---> the number

we know that

The algebraic expression is equal to multiply the number by 4, add 5 and equal 8

so

$4x+5=8$

Solve for x

subtract 5 both sides

$4x=8-5\\4x=3$

Divide by 4 both sides

$x=\frac{3}{4}$
