Let the number Amina thought be π₯ Given that, She Subtracts 5/2 from it, i.e. π₯β5/2 & Multiplies results by 8 β΄ New number = 8 (π₯β5/2) Also, Given, New number = 3 Γ Old number 8 (π₯β5/2)=3π₯ 8π₯β8 Γ5/2=3π₯ 8π₯β4 Γ5=3π₯ 8π₯β20=3π₯ 8π₯=3π₯+ 20 8π₯β3π₯=20 5π₯=20 π₯=20/5 π₯ = 4 β΄ The number Amina thought = x = 4.
