When 8 is added to the number that is produced by doubling the number x, the result is equal to 8 times the number that is 5 less than x. What is the value of x?

Sagot :

the answer is x=8 because (8X2=16+8=24)= (8-5=3X8=24)

This question involves trial and error;
Thus,the equation state that...

8+2x=8(x-5)
   
8+2x=8x-40
 
Combine Like Terms;
 
8+40=8x-2x
 
48=6x
 
48/6=6x/6
 
8=x

So,
8+2(8)=8(8-5) 

Hope it helps:)
