Question

What is 8 more than the product of 5 and a number is 12?

Answer 1

`5n + 8 = 12`

Explanation:

`5n` is `(5xxn)` because `n =` number.

8 more indicates that you add(+ 8)

`5xxn` is equivalent to `5n`

`5n + 8`

I assume when you say is 12 you meant to add equal to.

`5n+8 =12`

`n` would be `n = 4/5` which is a fraction.
