SolutionAmina thinks of a number and subtracts from it. She multiplies the result by 8. The result now obtained is 3 times the same number she thought of. What is the number?"

To find: We have to the number.
Solution:
Let the number be = a
So,
=> $\left( a\ -\frac{5}{2}\right)$ x 8 = 3a
=> 8a - $\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)$ x 8 = 3a
=> 8a - 20 = 3a
=> 8a - 3a = 20
=> 5a = 20
=> a = $\frac{20}{5}$
=> a = 4
