Question

Eight more than twice a number is equal to ten leas five times the number, n. Which equation can be used to find n?​

Answer 1

It would be 8 + 2 = 10 - 5n I think.

Answer 2

Here is what I think the answer is.

n+2n+8 = 5n-10

3n+8 = 5n-10

-8 -8

3n = 5n-18

-5n -5n

-2n = -18

---- -----

-2 -2

n = 9
