If a no. Is doubled and the result is increased by 8,we get 40.what is the no.?
Gve me ful sltn plz and ans is 16
what is sltn?
40-8 is 32. half of 32 is 16 so there ur answer
Thanx ..
To solve this problem, let's break it down step by step:
Let's assume the number is x.
According to the given information, if the number is doubled, we have 2x.
If we increase this result by 8, we get 2x + 8.
We are told that 2x + 8 equals 40, so we can write the equation as:
2x + 8 = 40
To find the value of x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides:
2x = 40 - 8
2x = 32
Now, we divide both sides of the equation by 2 to solve for x:
x = 32 / 2
x = 16
Therefore, the number is 16.
