Answer
The number is 11
Explanation
Let the number be represented as x
So the statement, the sum of eight times a number and four is ninety-two can be mathematically represented as:
[tex]8x+4=92[/tex]To find the number (x), we do the following:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x+4=92 \\ \\ Combine\text{ }the\text{ }like\text{ }terms \\ \\ 8x=92-4 \\ \\ 8x=88 \\ \\ Divide\text{ }both\text{ }sides\text{ }by\text{ }8 \\ \\ \frac{8x}{8}=\frac{88}{8} \\ \\ x=11 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the number is 11
