Question 8 of 10 (1 point)

Three times the difference of a number and eight is two less than twice the number. Find the
number. Round your answer to the nearest integer, if necessary.

Answer 1

3(n-8)=2n-2

3n-24=2n-2

Subtract 2n from both sides to get

n-24=-2

Adding 24 to both sides gives you

n=22. The number therefore is 22. Hope this helps!!!
