Twenty-five percent of a number is equal to 8 less than one-third of the same number. what is the number?

The number you're looking for is 96.

Step-by-step explanation:

Our number will be x.

0.25(x) = 1/3x - 8

First, subtract 1/3 from both sides. You end up with -0.83333x = -8

Then, divide both sides by -0.83333. You end up with 96.

answer:

given the linear inequality :

add 2y to both sides we get;

simplify:

add 12 to both sides of an equation;

simplify:

divide both sides by 2 we get;

or

the related equation for the inequality equation [1] is;

y-intercepts defined as the graph crosses the y-axis.

substitute x =0 in [2] to solve for y;

y = 6

x-intercepts defined as the graph crosses the x-axis.

substitute value y = 0 to solve for x;

subtract 6 from both sides we get

multiply both sides by 2 we get;

or

x = -12

now, plot these point (0, 6) and (-12, 0) on graph as shown below and shade the graph below the solid line.
