Two times the sum of a number and 8 is twenty. What is the number?

The required value of n is 2.

We have to determine, two times the sum of a number and 8 is twenty. What is the number.

To obtain the number calculation must be done in a single unit;

Here,

Let the number be n,

And sum of number n and 8 is (n+8).

Therefore,

Two times sum of the number = 20

Hence, The required value of n is 2.

n=2

2(n+8)=20

2n+16=20

     -16  -16

2n=4

/2   /2

n= 2

Hope this helps :)

the correct option is 2.

step-by-step explanation:

according to the given information triangle abc is a right angle triangle with right angle at a. segment ab is 5 and segment ac is 7. point d is on segment bc and angles adb and adc are right angles.

it is given that triangles abd, cad, and cba are similar.

two triangles are similar if their corresponding sides are proportional.

in triangle cba, using pythagoras theorem

                      )

triangle abd and cba are similar,

                            (2)

triangle cad and cba are similar,

                      )

using (1), (2) and (3), we get

hence proved.

therefore option 2 is correct.
