<PRE><B>Question 518024</B>
a number is divided by 7. Then 19 is added to the quotient. Next 8 is subtracted from the sum. The resulting number is the product of 9 times itself. What is the original number?
:
{{{n/7}}} + 19 - 8 = 9^2
:
{{{n/7}}} + 11 = 81
:
{{{n/7}}} = 70
:
multiply both sides by 7
n = 7(70)
:
n = 490
:
:
Check in the original statement
{{{490/7}}} + 19 - 8 = 9^2
70 + 19 - 8 = 81
