If you need a detail explanation just ask.
We know that 24 is 160% more than some recommended number, let's call it "x." This means 1.6 times the recommended number equals 24. Therefore, all we need to do is solve for x.


Make sense?
Step-by-step explanation:
The key rule is: to round up the number one digit to the left has to be the number 5 or more, else it rounds down.
23.827 rounds up because the 8 is more than 5.
1.218 rounds down because 2 is less than 5.
24-1= 23
Answer:
The number x is -3
Therefore x=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Given problem is "Three added to eight times a number is the same as three times the value of two times the number -1"
Let x be the number
It can be written as

( applying the distributive property )


subtracting (6x-3) on both sides we get


( ading the like terms )


Therefore x=-3
The number x is -3
