Answer:
[tex]x=10[/tex]
[tex]8(4+x) = 112[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
the product of 8 and the sum of 4 and a number is 112
LEt x be the unknown number
the sum of 4 and a number
Sum means addition, so we add 4 and x
[tex]4+x [/tex]
product of 8 and sum 4+x
product means multiplication
[tex]8(4+x)[/tex]
8(4+x) is equal to 112
[tex]8(4+x) = 112[/tex] is the equation used to solve for the number
We solve for x
[tex]32 + 8x = 112[/tex]
Subtract 32 on both sides
[tex]8x=80[/tex]
divide by 8 on both sides
[tex]x=10[/tex]
