Three more than 8 times a number is 29. Find the number.

1 answer:

8 0

Well, first off, to solve for this, we can write the expression and then solve from there.
Expression: 8x + 3 = 29
So, now that we have our expression, we can solve for our missing number using the balancing method.
8x + 3 = 29
8x + 3 - 3 = 29 - 3 (we subtracted the three because we needed to get rid of the three on the left side of the equation do now we are just left with 8x = 26.
8x = 26
8x/8 = 26/8. (So, the 8 on the left side cancels out and we are just left with X.
X = 26/8
X = 13/4
X = 3 and 1/4
So, in conclusion, the answer to this question is: X = 3 and 1/4 as a mixed number or 13/4 as an improper fraction.
Glad I could help!

A = 1
b = -1

a + b =
1 + (-1) =
1 - 1 =
0....so a + b = 0

additive inverse property states that every real number added to its additive inverse (or opposite) will equal zero.
