If one-half of a number is 8 less than two-thirds of the number what is the number?
Let the unknown number be x:
x/2 = (2x/3)-8
Multiply all terms by 2 to eradicate the 2 denominator:
x = (4x/3)-16
Multiply all terms by 3 to eradicate the 3 denominator:
3x = 4x-48
Collect like terms noticing the changes with the + and - signs:
3x-4x = -48
-x = -48
Divide both sides by -1 remembering that a - divided by a - is equal to a plus:
x = 48
Substituting the value of x into the original equation will give you: 24 = 24
