Zabato is thinking of a number. Three times the sum of the number and ten is the same as eight times the number. What is Zabato's number?

Answer (2)

Let x be the number Zabato is thinking of.
3 x + 10 = 8 x 10 = 5 x 2 = x
So the number is 2.

Zabato is thinking of the number 6. This was determined by solving the equation where three times the sum of the number and ten equals eight times the number. After simplifying and isolating the variable, we find x = 6 .
