Question

Eight More than the product of 24 and a number use the variable n to represent the unknown number

Answer 1

24n + 8 = 0

Explanation:

Let the unknown number be n.

From the question, we can deduce the following points;

- product of 24 and a number = 24 * n

- eight more than the above calculation = 24n + 8

Therefore, translating the word problem into an algebraic expression, we have;

(24 * n) + 8 = 0

24n + 8 = 0

Simplifying further, we have;

24n = -8

n = -8/24

n = -1/3
