8(8+x) = 17
    64 + 8x = 16 
  - 64          - 64
----------------------
   8x = -48

   8       8
x = -6         
                                
             
                    
              
              
                
                
Edited answer: The number is:  "- 6" .
_______________________________________________
 8 (8 + x) = 16 ;  
in which "x" represents the number for which to be solved ;
8*8 + 8*x = 16 .
Edit:  64 + 8x = 16 ;
Subtract "64" from each side of the equation:
Edit:   64 + 8x − 64 = 16 <span>− 64 ;
to get:  8x = </span>- 48 ;
Divide EACH SIDE of the equation by "8" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the <span>equation ; and</span> to solve for "x" ;
Edit:     8x / 8 = -48 / 8 ; 
  Edit:    x = - 6 .
______________________________________________
The number is:  "- 6" .
______________________________________________
 Let us check our answer, by plugging in "-6" for "x" in the original equation:
______________________________________________
8 (8 + x) = 16 ; 
→ 8 [8 + (-6) ]  =? 16 ?? ; 
→ 8 (8 − 6 )  =? 16 ?? ; 
→ 8 (2)  =? 16 ?? ; 
→ 16 = ? 16 ??  Yes!

The 2 whole feet are 8 1/4’s and the 1/2 of a foot can get cut twice into 1/4’s. 
Step-by-step explanation:
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Let the speed of the water current be v.
total travel time = time to go upstream + time to return downstream to the starting point
 Hence, 8 = time in hours = 6 / (4-v) + 6 / (4 +v) = 6*8/(16-v^2)
Hence, 16 - v^2 = 6, or v^2 = 10 or v = √10 miles / hour
