Question

Eight less than a number divided by seven is two. Find the number.

Answer 1

The missing number would be 22.

Explanation:

The missing number would be, lets say x.

(x - 8) / 7 = 2

First, lets multiply 2 by 7.

2 * 7 = 14

Next, lets add 8 to 14.

8 + 14 = 22

The missing number would be 22.

To check this answer, subtract 8 from 22 which would be 14.

Then divide by 7 which would be 2. This answer is correct.

Therefor, the missing number, or x, would be 22.

Hope this helps!
