Question

Eight times a number equals 24 more than two times the number. What is the number

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

I'll use n to represent the unknown number.

8 n = 24 + 2 n

→ times means multiplication (8 times a number n means 8 ⋅

n or 8 n ,the same thing goes for 2 times the number), 24 more than 2 n indicates that 2 n is being increased by 24 ( 24 + 2 n )

6 n = 24 n = 4
