Question

If 7 is added to twice a number and this sum is multiplied by 4, the result is the same as if the number is multiplied by 4 and 8 is added to the product. What is the number?

Answer 1

Set up the equation
(7 + 2x) 4 = (x*4) +8

solve for x

Answer 2

Alright the answer I got is 1/4 is this right

Answer 3

Multiply the 4 in
28 + 8x = 4x +8

Subtract the 4x
28 + 4x = 8

Subtract the 28
4x = -20

divide the 4
x = -5

Answer 4
