Write an equation for each description

Question

1.  Eight times the difference of a number and 2 is the same as a 3 times the sum of the number of 3. 

 

2. The sum of -7 times a number and 8 times the sum of the number and 1 is the same as the number minus 7. 

 

3. The quotient of the difference of a number and 24 divided by 8 is the same as the number divided by 6.

Answer 1

Let x = the number in each case

 

1.

 

8(x - 2) = 3(x + 3)      

 

2.

 

-7x + 8(x + 1) = x - 7

3.

 

(x - 24) / 8 = x / 6
