Answer 1

(8 * x) + 2x = 60

8x + 2x = 60

10x = 60

/10 /10

x = 6

8 is a constant that is being multiplied by an unknown number which we will name x. It is then being added to two times the unknown number(x), so we multiply x by 2, which is 2x. The final product will be 60, so in the equation it'll then equal 60.

We consider "a number" to be a variable that withholds an unknown value, which is x (or any other variable you prefer).
