Answer:
\(x=10\)
\(8(4+x) = 112\)
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
\(4+x\)
product of 8 and sum 4+x
product means multiplication
\(8(4+x)\)
8(4+x) is equal to 112
\(8(4+x) = 112\) is the equation used to solve for the number
We solve for x
\(32 + 8x = 112\)
Subtract 32 on both sides
\(8x=80\)
divide by 8 on both sides
\(x=10\)
