Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
So we have a number (let's call it x) and it was multiplied by 8 and added by 2. Therefore:
[tex]8x+2[/tex]
And we are told that the sum is equal to the product of 2 and 25 (or 50). Thus:
[tex]8x+2=50[/tex]
To find the number, we just need to find x. Thus, subtract 2 from both sides:
[tex]8x=48[/tex]
Divide both sides by 8:
[tex]x=6[/tex]
And we're done!
So, our original number was 6.
