What number decreased by 8 equals 5 times that number?
First write an algebraic equation for x, the number you are looking for. x-8 is the number decreased by 8 and that needs to equal 5x. x-8=5x so now subtract 5x from both sides and add 8 to both sides and we have -4x=8 so x is -2. Now we plug that back in the original English sentence. -2 decreased by 8 is -10 and 5 times -2 is negative 10.
What is a number decreased by the difference between eight and the number?
x - (8 - x)
A number times the sum of that number and 8?
x(x+8)x^2 + 8x
What is fifty decreased by eight times three?
I believe you are supposed to calculate: 50 - (8 x 3)
What is the total of 6 times a number x and 8?
6 x x=8

A number decreased by 8?
8-x 8-x
What is 1 more than a 8 times a number equal to 12 times that number decreased by 3?
8X + 1 = 12X - 3 4 = 4X X = 1
When 7 times a number is decreased by 8 the answer is the same as when 3 times the number is increased by 4?
7x - 8 = 3x + 4 4x - 8 = 4 4x = 12 x = 3 Check it. 21 - 8 = 9 + 4 It checks.
A certain number decreased by 4 is equal to 8 increased by the quotient of the same number and 5 What is the number?
x-4=8+x/5 5(x-4)=5(8+x/5) 5x-20=8+x 4x=28 x=7
What is Eight Decreased By Three Times The Sum Of A Number And Six?
The expression "eight decreased by three times the sum of a number and six" can be represented as 8 - 3(x + 6). To simplify, first distribute the -3 to both terms inside the parentheses to get 8 - 3x - 18. Combining like terms gives us -3x - 10 as the final simplified expression.
A number has been decreased by 12 the result is -5 find the original number?
17
A number times the sum of that number and 8?
x(x+8)x^2 + 8x
if 4 is decreased by 5 times a number the result is -4?
4-5 is -1. Times -1 by 4. It equals-4.
A certain number decreased by 4 is equal to 8 increased by the quotient of the same number and 5 and 7 or 11 are not the answer What is the number?
So let's call the number we are looking for x. x-4 is the number decreased by 4 quotient of the number and 5 is x/5 so x-4=8+ x/5 we have 5x-20=40+x and 4x=60 so x=15 Let's try it? 15-4=11 8+15/5=11
Find a number which decreased by 18 is 5 times its opposite?
x-18=5 times -5 x-18=-25 x=-25+18 x=-7
