To show you how to get the answer, I'll work it out all the way through all the steps:
8 + 3x = 5x
8 + 3x - 3x = 5x - 3x
8 = 2x
4 = x
Note: Remember, what you do to one side, you have to do to the other.
eight
3(x+8)
3 x 8
3x + 8
None of the "following" does.
twice the difference of three times a number and eight

3n>8
3(x+8)
3 x 8
eight
3x + 8
None of the "following" does.
==> [ 3x - 8 ]
"Three times as many" refers to a quantity that is three times greater than a given amount. For example, if you have a number, say 4, then three times that number would be 3 multiplied by 4, resulting in 12. This phrase is often used in mathematical contexts or to express proportional relationships.
3x-8>15
Eight times twenty-five times twenty-three is equal to 4,600.
