Well, darling, 5 times the difference of a number and 8 is simply 5(n-8), where n is the mysterious number you're working with. So, if you want to find out the result, just plug in your number and do the math. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

In mathematics, the term "difference" refers to the result of subtracting one number from another. For example, the difference of 5 could refer to subtracting 5 from a number, such as 10 - 5 = 5. It can also mean the difference between two numbers, like 8 and 3, where the difference is 5 (8 - 3 = 5). Essentially, the difference is the value that represents how far apart two numbers are on a number line.
6x + 8 = 3x - 5
3x + 5 = 33 - 4 (which is true when x = 8)
8 and 3
The "number" is 8. 8-3=5 5*7=35

five times the sum of a number and 8 is -15.
13168? hmm too short to know for sure. But there is a pattern I found. For the first number the difference from 2 and 0 is 2. So you times the difference by 2 (the number) and then add 1 to get 5. For the second number the difference from 5 and 2 is 3. So you times 3 (the difference) by 5 the number and then subtract 1 to get 14. For the third number the difference from 14 and 5 is 9. So 9 times 14 and then you subtract 4 to get 122. So, for the next number you would take the difference from 122 and 14 which is 108, then times that by 122 and get 13176, then following the pattern of (1, -1, -4) you would subtract 13176 by 8 to get 13168.
(3a-8) + 5x(a)
To find a number that is 5 times greater than 8, you would multiply 8 by 5. 8 x 5 = 40. Therefore, the number that is 5 times greater than 8 is 40.
