Question

Eight increased by the product of a number and 4 is at most 20

Answer 1

3

Explanation:

eight increased by the product of a number and 4 is at most 20

these implies

8 + a x4 = 20

a is the number whose product with 4 is increased by eight to give at most 20

8 + a x4 = 20

8 + 4a = 20

subtract 8 from both sides

4a = 20 -8

4a= 12

divide both sides by 4

a = 12/4 = 3

the number is 3

Answer 2

I am not entirely sure what you are asking, but I believe the answer is 4*2=8

Explanation:

This is because:

8 increased by the product of a number and 4 is at most 20.

8 + p + 4 = 20

We are trying to find p.

8 +4= 12

20 - 12= 8

So I believe the answer is 8.
