Suppose the number is x. The sum of the number and two is x+2 Four times the sum is 4(x+2) The number times 8 is 8x 24 less than the number times 8 is 8x-24 4(x+2) = 8x-24 4x+8=8x-24 so 4x = 32 and x = 8
24(x + 2.25)
the sum of 18 and a number equals 24
Call the unknown number n. From the problem statement, 5(6 + n) = 24, or 30 + 5n = 24, or 5n = 24 - 30 = - 6, or n = -(6/5).
The term "sum" implies the answer to addition.Example: What is the sum of 10 and 14?10 + 14 = 24
Suppose the number is x. The sum of the number and two is x+2 Four times the sum is 4(x+2) The number times 8 is 8x 24 less than the number times 8 is 8x-24 4(x+2) = 8x-24 4x+8=8x-24 so 4x = 32 and x = 8
24(x + 2.25)
The answer is 24.
-24
Let the number be x: 5x+x = 24 6x = 24 x = 4
the sum of 18 and a number equals 24
29
The sum of one number must be itself, so the answer is 2.4
24
Call the unknown number n. From the problem statement, 5(6 + n) = 24, or 30 + 5n = 24, or 5n = 24 - 30 = - 6, or n = -(6/5).
1st number=12 2nd number=24
Write a pair of number which have a sum of 11 and a product of 24?
