Question 94819: Write the sentence as an equation, using x for the unknown number. Then solve the equation.
Four times a number added to 8 times the number equals 48. Find the number. Answer by tutorcecilia(2152) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8+4x=48 [solve for the x-value]
8-8+4x=48-8
4x=40
4x/4=40/4
x=10
.
Check by plugging (x=10) back into the origina equation:
8+4x=48
8+4(10)=48
48=48 [checks out]
