If five less than three-fourths of an integer is the same as five more than one-eighth of the same integer, what is the integer?
so I guess the equation we're solving is

Given:

Five less than three-fourths of an integer is the same as five  more than one-eighth of the same integer.

To find:

The integer.

Solution:

Let x be the unknown integer.

So, according to the question,

Multiply both sides by 8.

Divide both sides by 5.

Therefore, the required integer is 16 and your equation is incorrect.

could you give more information?

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:
