Answer 1

Calculation of the Number of Badges Sasha Had Initially

To calculate the number of badges Sasha had initially, we can follow these steps:

1. Sasha initially had a certain number of badges. 2. His friend gave him an additional 4 badges. 3. Sasha then attached all the badges to three flags, with 8 badges attached to each flag.

Let's denote the number of badges Sasha initially had as x.

After his friend gave him 4 more badges, Sasha had a total of x + 4 badges.

Sasha then attached all the badges to three flags, with 8 badges attached to each flag. This means that each flag had 8 badges, and since there were three flags, the total number of badges attached to the flags was 3 * 8 = 24.

We can set up the following equation to represent the situation:

x + 4 = 24

To find the value of x, we can subtract 4 from both sides of the equation:

x = 24 - 4 = 20

Therefore, Sasha initially had 20 badges.
