If 12 less than 4 times a number is 8, the number is 5. Write a different sentence where the unknown number is also 5.
4n - 12 = 8
Thank u so much
So I worked it out and my Answer is 5. Right?
You're right.
And you're welcome.
Tnx
To write a different sentence where the unknown number is also 5, we can use the equation: "The sum of the number and its double, divided by 2, is equal to 5."
To get this sentence, we start by introducing the unknown number as 'x' (the number we want to find). Then, we double the number (2x) and find its sum with the original number (x + 2x). Finally, we divide the total sum by 2, which gives us (x + 2x)/2. Since we want this expression to be equal to 5, we can write the equation:
(x + 2x)/2 = 5
Simplifying, we get:
3x/2 = 5
Now, to find the value of 'x', we can cross multiply:
3x = 10
Dividing both sides by 3, we find:
x = 10/3
So, the different sentence where the unknown number is 5 can be written as: "The sum of the number 10/3 and its double, divided by 2, is equal to 5."
