Flve times a number is the same as 30 more than 8 times the number. Find the number.
If nis "the number," which equation could be used to solve for the number?
5N = 8N + 30 -8N = 30 -3N = 30 divide both sides by -3 N = -10
N stands for number as the unknown. Most people use X, but I use N. Very sorry if this is incorrect, but it’s the only way I know how to do these kind of problems.
