Question 513328: how do i write "four times the sum of three times a number increased by two is equal to three times the difference of two times the number decreased by eight" in number form? Answer by umail08(87) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x = the number
1) 3x + 2 … sum of three times a number increased by two
2) 4( 3x + 2) … four times the sum of three times a number increased by two
3) 2x – 8 … difference of two times the number decreased by eight
4) 3(2x – 8) … three times the difference of two times the number decreased by eight
So your equation would be:
4(3x + 2) = 3(2x – 8)
