Question 707614: eigh times the difference between a number and 8 equals the product of the number and -4. find the number. define the unkown(s) using one variable. write the equation using one variable. Answer by vheroli(126) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 8 * (x-8)= (x)(-4)
Simplify:
8*(x-8)= -4x
8x-64= -4x
8x+4x= 64
12x = 64
12x/12 = 64/12
x= 16/3
