Question

Eight times the sum of a number and 6 equals 2

Answer 1

Answer:

n = -23/4

Step-by-step explanation:

8(n+6) = 2

4(n+6) = 1

4n+24 = 1

4n = -23

n = -23/4

Answer 2

Answer:

Number = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number = x

Now

According to given conditions:

8x + 6 = 2

Subtracting 6 from both sides we get:

8x + 6 - 6 = 2 - 6

8x = -4

Dividing both sides by 8 we get:

x = -4/8

Reducing to lowest form:

x = -1/2

Proof:

8(-1/2) + 6 =2

-8/2 +6 =2

-4 + 6 =2

2 = 2

Hence proved
