Answer:

8(x-5/2) = 3x

8x-20 = 3x

8x-3x = 20

5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4

First, lets break the question step-by-step for easy understanding.

Step 1: 5/2 is subtracted from x.

Step 2: The answer in Step 1 is multiplied by 8.

Step 3: The answer derived in Step 2 is 3 times of x.

Hence, the equation could be formed as follows:

(x-5/2)*8=3x

(2x-5)*4=3x

8x-20=3x

8x-3x=20

5x=20

x=20/5

x=4

Therefore, the number is 4.

Hope this helps. Thank you!

Solve the equation 1/4 (4x-24) +x=14
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you mean (1/4)(4x - 24), we simplify this to obtain:

x - 6 + x = 14

Combining like terms, we get:

2x = 20.  Then x = 20/2, or x = 10
