Eight times the result of subtracting three from a number is equal to the number increased by 25. What is that number?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Lets write the equation for the information given

8(x-3)=x+25

distribute and then subtract x  

8(x-3)-x=25

8x-24-x=25

7x-24=25

add 24

7x=25+24

7x=49

divide by 7

x=7
