Question

A number is divided by 2, and then the quotient is increased by 8. The result is 33

Answer 1

50

Explanation:

`x / 2 = y \\`

`y + 8 = 33`

You have to risolve this system and y Is 25 and so x Is 50

Answer 2

The number is 50

Explanation:

All we have to do is to take the opposite steps!

We'll start with 33, then subtract by 8, then multiply by 2.

33 - 8 = 25

25 * 2 = 50

Check:

50/2 = 25

25+8 = 33

We're correct!
