EXPLANATION:
To formulate the equation correctly, we must follow the steps given in the exercise.
So the exercise is as follows:
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=a\text{ number} \\ step\text{ 1: (multipl}ied\text{ by 8)} \\ x(8) \\ \text{step 2: }(\text{divided by 4}) \\ \frac{x\times8}{4} \\ \text{step 3:(}result\text{ 7 more than the number)} \\ \frac{x\times8}{4}=7 \\ \text{ANSWER:} \\ the\text{ equation formulated is:} \\ \frac{x(8)}{4}=7 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now to know what the number is, we have to solve the formula formulated.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{x(8)}{4}=7 \\ \frac{8x}{4}=7 \\ 8x=7(4) \\ 8x=28 \\ x=\frac{28}{8} \\ x=3.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]
