Answer:
Explanation:
Let the number be x.
If the number, x is multiplied by 8, we have: 8x
15 subtracted from the product gives us:
[tex]8x-15[/tex]
The result is 41.
The equation for this problem is:
[tex]8x-15=41[/tex]
We then solve for x.
Begin by adding 15 to both sides.
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x-15+15=41+15 \\ 8x=56 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Next, divide both sides by 8.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{8x}{8}=\frac{56}{8} \\ x=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]
