[tex]let\ x\ be\ the\ unknown\ number[/tex]
[tex]8x+7=2x-3[/tex]
first choose a variable to represent the number.
when something is "..." times a number, we are multiplying that number by that value.
"seven added to eight times a number" means that we are multiplying the number by eight (8x) and then adding seven to it (+7).
"is" usually means 'equals to' so we put an equal sign there.
"three less than twice the number" means that we are multiplying the number by two (2x) and then subtracting three from it (-3).
An equation form of given statement is, 7 + 8m = 3 - 2m where m is any real valued number.
"It is a mathematical statement which consists of equal symbol between two mathematical expressions."
For given question,
We have been given a statement.
We need to translate given statement into a equation.
Seven added to eight times a number is three less than twice the number.
Let 'm' be any real number.
We can rewrite above statement as,
Seven plus to eight times 'm' is three minus twice 'm'.
⇒ 7 + 8 × m = 3 - 2 × m
So, we get an equation,
⇒ 7 + 8m = 3 - 2m
Therefore, an equation form of given statement is, 7 + 8m = 3 - 2m where m is any real valued number.
