if a certain number is decreased by 8 and that difference is multiplied by 8 the result is equal to the result obtained if the number is decreased by 6 and the difference is multiplied by 6.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "8(n-8) = 6(n-6)
\n" ); document.write( "8n - 64 = 6n - 36
\n" ); document.write( "8n - 6n = -36 + 64
\n" ); document.write( "2n = 28
\n" ); document.write( "n = 28/2
\n" ); document.write( "n = 14 is the number
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( " 8(14-8) = 6(14-6)
\n" ); document.write( "8(6) = 6(8) \n" ); document.write( "
