Question

A number is multiplied by 8, and that product is added to 2. The sum is equal to the product of 2 and 25. Find the number.

Answer 1

Answer: the number = 6

Explanation:

Let x be the number.

Set equation according to the information given

2 + 8x = 2 × 25

Simplify by multiplication

2 + 8x = 50

Subtract 2 on both sides

2 + 8x - 2 = 50 - 2

8x = 48

Divide 8 on both sides

8x / 8 = 48 / 8

`\boxed {x=6}`
