The quotient of a number and 14 is 8. Find the number.
2x/8
8
2d+8
8 more than twice a number d
The number works out as 14
a + b = 2a - 8 ie - a = - b - 8; a - b = 2b - 4 ie a = 3b - 4 so b + 8 = 3b - 4, ie b = 6 and a = 14 Check: 14 + 6 = 28 - 8 yes; 14 - 6 = 12 - 4 yes!
According to the statement twice a number minus 2 is 8 the answer is 5.
The quotient of a number and 14 is 8. Find the number.
2x/8
Twice a number minus two giving us the answer as eight is number 5.
8+2n
8
2x/8; x = the number
It is 14 5/8.
2d+8
The verbal expression that represents the algebraic expression 2x-8 is "twice a number decreased by 8." In this expression, "2x" represents twice the value of a variable "x," and "-8" indicates that 8 is being subtracted from that value. Therefore, "twice a number decreased by 8" accurately describes the algebraic expression 2x-8.
