Set up equations and solve them to find the unknown numbers in the following cases: (a) Add 4 to eight times a number; you get 60. (b) One fifth of a number minus 4 gives 3. (c) If I take three fourths of a number and count up 3 more, I get 21. (d) When I subtracted 11 from twice a number, the result was 15. (e) Munna subtracts thrice the number of notebooks he has from 50, he finds the result to be 8. (f) Ibenhal thinks of a number. If she adds 19 to it and divides the sum by 5, she will get 8. (g) Anwar thinks of a number. If he takes away 7 from 5/2 of the number, the result is 11/2.

To find sum of three numbers 14, 27 and 13, we can have two ways: (a) We may first add 14 and 27 to get 41 and then add 13 to it to get the total sum 54 or (b) We may add 27 and 13 to get 40 and then add 14 to get the sum 54. Thus, (14 + 27 ) + 13 = 14 + (27 + 13) This can be done for any three numbers. This property is known as the associativity of addition of numbers. Express this property which we have already studied in the chapter on Whole Numbers, in a general way, by using variables a, b and c.

A man says, “I am thinking of a number. When I divide it by 3 and then add 5, my answer is twice the number I thought of”. Find the number.

27 when added to twice a number x, and then increased by 13, gives us 60. The value of x is
