Question

Five more than the product of a number and 4 is equal to 8

Answer 1

`4x+5=8`

`x=(3)/(4)`

Explanation:

Let

x ---> the number

we know that

The algebraic expression is equal to multiply the number by 4, add 5 and equal 8

so

`4x+5=8`

Solve for x

subtract 5 both sides

`4x=8-5\\4x=3`

Divide by 4 both sides

`x=(3)/(4)`
