When 4 times the number increased by 30, the answer is the same as when 70 decreased by the number. what was my number?

8

Step-by-step explanation:

Read a little bit at a time.

4x + 30 is the first clause70 - x    is the second clause. These two things are equal

Equation

4x + 30 = 70 - x                     Subtract 30 from both sides

Solution

4x + 30 - 30 = 70 - 30 - x      Collect like terms4x = 40 - x                              Add x to both sides4x + x = 40                             Combine5x = 40                                   Divide by 55x/5 = 40/5x = 8

Ithink you're supposed to multiply 12.50 which is how much he makes per hour and then multiply it by each number then add whats left togrther and there's your answer

Google it that might work
