To solve the equation "three times a number equals the number minus 8," we can express it mathematically as (3x = x - 8), where (x) is the unknown number. Rearranging the equation gives us (3x - x = -8), which simplifies to (2x = -8). Dividing both sides by 2 results in (x = -4). Thus, the number is -4.
