Answer:
Problem involving algebraic Equations:
The answer is 8. To solve for this, we will represent the number as x and make an algebraic equation such that 5x + 8 = 48 then solve for the value of x by applying the properties of addition and multiplication. Make sure to simplify the answer.
Solutions:
5x + 8 = 48
5x + 8 + (-8) = 48 + (-8)
5x = 40
\frac{5x}{5}
5
5x
= \frac{40}{5}
5
40
x = 8
Therefore, the number we are looking for is 8.
To check:
5x + 8 = 48
5(8) + 8 = 48
40 + 8 = 48
48 = 48√
