Question 49175: Translate the following statement into an algebraic equaion. Let x represent the number.
8 less than 2 times a number is 9 times that same number.
x-8*2*9 (I think this is wrong!!) Help

"less than" = subtract 8
"2 times" = multiply by 2
"a number" = "x"
"is" = "equal"
"9 times" = multiply by 9
"the same number" = "x"
.
2x-8=9x
