What is the numerical solution to the equation five less than three times a number equals four more than eight times the numbers? A. -9/5
B. 1/11
C. -1/5
D. 1/5

Option A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first consider the equation at hand. We are given that this equation is as follows, five less than three times a number equals four more than eight times the numbers. Convert this into a numerical format;

where x = " the number "

If you wish, take a look at this verbal explanation. To solve the equation 3x - 5 = 4 + 8x, one would first subtract 3x on either side of the equation, resulting in the simplified equation - 5 = 4 + 5x. Subtracting - 4 from either side, - 5 - 4 = - 9, and so we receive - 9 = 5x. Dividing 5 on either side, x = - 9 / 5, Option A.
