If 3 is added to a number and multiplied the result by 5 gives 55 what is the number​

the number is 8 and the person has too much time on their hands. You take the end result of 55 and divide by 5 and subtract 3 and get the result of 8

24

Step-by-step explanation:Let the number we seek be X.

We are Given:

1). (5X+3 ) x (2) = 30

Expand and Rearrange.

(10X +6 ) = 30.

10X = 24.

2). X equals 2.4 . This is the answer for the number we seek.

Always check the answer.

This is Good Working Practice ALWAYS.

For Exams or similar remember:

Presentation (Neat & Tidy), Method & Layout (Show you understand), Accuracy.

All these count in most exams.

The first two points help greatly if your Answer is in error, but your METHOD Is CLEAR & CORECT.

Similarly, if the Check is wrong, mention this, but also, if the case, mention e.g. time ran out .. You may be credited as AWARE if your presentation and Method show you understood what to do and why.

CHECK: Substitute the answer for X into the original equation 1).

Equn. 1). (5X +3)*2 = 30.

Put in the value for X. Expand & Re-arrange.

(( 5 ).( 2.4 ) + ( 3 ).( 2 ) = 30.

( 12 + 6 ) = 30.

24 = 24. Checked & Agreed.

That’s about it.
