  1. Question

    ~~~~~~

    If 1/4 is subtracted from a number and the difference is multiplied by 8, the result is 24. Find the number.

    Answer

    ➡[tex]8(x – \frac{1}{4}) = 24 [/tex]

    ➡[tex]8x – \frac{32 – 1}{4} = 24[/tex]

    ➡[tex]8x – \frac{31}{4} = 24[/tex]

    ➡[tex] \frac{32x – 31}{4 } = 24[/tex]

    ➡[tex]32x – 31 = 24 \times 4[/tex]

    ➡[tex]32x – 31 = 96[/tex]

    ➡[tex]32x = 96 – 31[/tex]

    ➡[tex]32x = 65[/tex]

    ➡[tex]x = \frac{65}{32} [/tex]
