A number is divided by 2, and then the quotient is added to 8. the result is 33.

the number is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

You must work backwards to isolate and find the answer, first making an equation and setting the unknown number as a variable, x. The answer is then the isolated value of x.

x/2+8 = 33

x/2 = 33-8

x/2 = 25

x/2 (2) = 25 (2)

x = 50
