Question

Gopal is thinking of a number. He says that the sum of the number and 8, multiplied by 3/4, is equal to -12. Which equation can be used to find gopals number?

Answer 1

The equation to be used is
`(3)/(4)(x+8) =-12`

Explanation:

Let us call Gopal's number
`x`, then he is says
`x+8` multiplied by
`(3)/(4)` is -12; to put it another way,

`(3)/(4)(x+8) =-12`.

This is the equation we get, and solving it will give us the value of
`x,` the Gospal's number.
