Answer:

The Answer is: The Number is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n = the number.

Eight times a number minus 4 equals 8 plus 5 times the number.

8n - 4 = 8 + 5n

3n = 12

n = 4, the number is 4.

Proof:

8(4) - 4 = 8 + 5(4)

32 - 4 = 8 + 20

28 = 28

Hope this helps! Have an Awesome Day!! :-)
