Question

The product of 8 and the sum of 4 and a number is 112. What is the number?

Which equation could be used to solve for the number?
8 + 4n = 112
O 8 x 4 + n = 112
8(4 + n) = 112

Answer 1

8(4 + n) = 112

Explanation:

Let's start by reading the problem since it maybe is a bit confusing at first.

The product of 8

Now we know that it starts with 8 multiplied by another number. We do not know that number yet, so let's put 8 * () and fill in the parentheses later.

So far, our equation is:

8()

.. And the sum of 4 and a number

So, 4 + n

We can enter that into our equation

8(4+n)

The next line says "..Is 112"

So, the solution to our equation is 112

Our equation becomes:

8(4+n)=112
