Question

Krutika was thinking of a number. Krutika adds 8 then divides by 12 to get an answer of 13. Form an equation with

x
from the information.

Answer 1

X = 148

When we Make the word problem into an equation we get X + 8 / 12 = 13

All we need to do is isolate X by doing the opposite of each number. When we do that we get a problem like this

X = (12 * 13) - 8

When we do the math we get an answer of 148

Therefore, X = 148
