Question

Translate the following sentence into an equation "the sum of 8 times x and 4 is 68"

Answer 1

The equation is:

8x + 4 = 68

and the solution is:

x = 8

Explanation:

The equation is:

8 time x and 4 is 68

8x+4 = 68

Solve:

8x + 4 - 4 = 68 - 4

8x + 0 = 64

8x = 64

x = 64/8

x = 8

Check:

8*8 + 4 = 68
