Question

Two is added to seven times some number and the result is the sum of the number and 8.

Answer 1

Seven times some number is 7x. Two added to seven times some number is 7x + 2. Result means equal to (=). The sum of a number and 8 is x + 8.

So the final result is 7x + 2 = x + 8

Can you solve for x?
