EXAMPLE Finding the Value of an Unknown Number
If 4 is multiplied by a number decreased by 7, the product is 100. Find the number.
Step 1 Read the problem carefully. We are asked to find a number.
Step 2 Assign a variable to represent the unknown quantity.
Let x = the number.
Step 3 Write an equation.

Step 4 Solve the equation.

Step 5 State the answer. The number is 32.
Step 6 Check. When 32 is decreased by 7, we get 32 − 7 = 25. If 4 is multiplied by 25, we get 100, as required. The answer, 32, is correct.
The product of 8, and a number increased by 6, is 104. What is the number?
