n-2(9/4) - 3(1/8) -2(2/3) = 83/24
n - 18/4- 3/8 - 4/3 = 83/24
n - 108/24 - 9/24 - 32/24 = 83/24
n = 83/24 + 108/24 + 9/24 + 32/24
n = 232/24 0r 9 2/3

n, the number.

n-2%2A%282%261%2F4%29-3%281%2F8%29-2%282%2F3%29=3%2611%2F24-----this is the description.


n=3%2611%2F24%2B4%261%2F2%2B3%2F8%2B4%2F3

n=7%2B11%2F24%2B1%2F2%2B1%261%2F3

n=8%2B11%2F24%2B1%2F2%2B1%2F3

n=8%2B%2811%2F24%2B12%2F24%2B8%2F24%29

n=8%2B31%2F24

n=9%2B7%2F24

n=9%267%2F24
