Question

The sum of 7 times a number and 5 is the same as the difference of the number and 7. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer:

pls mark me a brainliest

let x represent the number

7(x) + 5 = 7 - x

so we now group like terms

7x + x = 7 - 5

8x = 2

we now divide through by 8

$\frac{8x}{8} = \frac{2}{8}$

$x = \frac{1}{4}$

the final answer for the number is 1/4

Hope this will help

Have a good day
