Question 1 Amina thinks of a number and subtracts 5/(2 ) from it. She multiplies the result by 8. The result now obtained is 3 times the same number she thought of. What is the number? Let the number Amina thought be š„ Given that, She Subtracts 5/2 from it, i.e. š„ā5/2 & Multiplies results by 8 ā“ New number = 8 (š„ā5/2) Also, Given, New number = 3 Ć Old number 8 (š„ā5/2)=3š„ 8š„ā8 Ć5/2=3š„ 8š„ā4 Ć5=3š„ 8š„ā20=3š„ 8š„=3š„+ 20 8š„ā3š„=20 5š„=20 š„=20/5 š„ = 4 ā“ The number Amina thought = x = 4.
