Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Let's denote the unknown number as 'x' . The problem states that when 'x' is multiplied by8 and4 is added to the product, the result is equal to the product of and22.

STEP 2

First, let's write down the equation based on the problem statement.
8x+4=2times228x +4 =2 \\times22

STEP 3

Now, calculate the product of2 and22.
2times22=442 \\times22 =44So, the equation becomes8x+=448x + =44

STEP 4

Next, let's isolate the term with 'x' on one side of the equation. We can do this by subtracting4 from both sides of the equation.
8x=4448x =44 -4

STEP 5

Now, calculate the right side of the equation.
8x=408x =40

STEP 6

Finally, to find the value of 'x', divide both sides of the equation by8.
x=40/8x =40 /8

STEP 7

Now, calculate the value of 'x'.
x=40/=5x =40 / =5So, the number is5.
