Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step 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
