Rewrite the equation with parts separated:
8 + 7/9 - 3 - 2/3
Solve the whole number parts:
8 - 3 = 5
Solve the fraction parts:
7/9 - 2/3
Find LCD of 7/9 & 2/3
7/9 - 6/9 = 1/9
5 + 1/9 = 5 1/9

Hi.
Please note that I haven't done much algebra.
4 more = 4 +
Twice as many than the runner up means 2 times the amount they ate (a variable) = 2n
So far we have 4 + 2n
Since it's an equation, we are going to know what it equals. In the problem, we find out that it's 11. So the equation looks like this:
4 + 2n = 11
If this didn't work out, please let me know.

I believe n = 3.5
The answer would be 4.301
