Well, darling, it looks like you've stumbled upon a simple algebraic equation. To solve for x, you just divide both sides by -8, giving you x = 3. Voila! Math problem solved, now go treat yourself to a cheesecake.
-8x + 3 = 27 -8x = 27 - 3 -8x = 24 -x = 3 x = -3
24
Suppose the number is x. The sum of the number and two is x+2 Four times the sum is 4(x+2) The number times 8 is 8x 24 less than the number times 8 is 8x-24 4(x+2) = 8x-24 4x+8=8x-24 so 4x = 32 and x = 8
2x+8x-2=22 10x-2=22 10x+2=+2 10x=24 10/10=24/10 x=2.4
-8x - 10 - 20 = -8x - 30
