Answer:

Equation:  \frac{3}{4}n+8=n-20

Solve for n:  n = 112

Step-by-step explanation:

To first set up the equation, you need to look at the verbal description and translate into numbers and operations:

'three fourths a number' =  \frac{3}{4} n

'plus 8' = + 8

'is' =

'20 less' = - 20

'the number' = n

Put the expressions together:

'three fourths a number plus 8':  \frac{3}{4}n+8

'20 less than the number': n - 20

Set them equal to each other and solve: \frac{3}{4}n+8=n-20

Add 20 to both sides: \frac{3}{4}n+8+20=n-20+20

Subtract \frac{3}{4}n from both sides: \frac{3}{4}n-\frac{3}{4}n+28=n-\frac{3}{4}n

Multiply both sides by \frac{4}{1}: \frac{4}{1}28=\frac{1}{4}n\frac{4}{1}

Solve for n:  n = 112
