The answer is x=2
8-3x=2
You minus 8 from each side=-3=-6
You then divide -6 by -3=2

Answer: 8- 3x = 2 will be the answer.

Explanation:

let us consider the number is x .

so, the three times of the number= 3×x=3x

when eight  decreases by this three times of the number then its expression = 8-3x

And, according to the question, this expression is equal to two.

Thus, 8-3x=2, where x=2.( because, 8-2=3x⇒6=3x⇒x=2)

Jones can paint a car in 8 hours. Smith can paint the same car in 6 hours. They start to paint the car together. After 2 hours,
Volgvan
Jones takes 8 hours , therefore in one hour he paints a fraction of 1/8
smith takes 6 hours, thus in one hour he paints a fraction of 1/6
When working together they paint a fraction of 7/24 in an hour.
After 2 hours they will have painted a fraction of (7/24) ×2 = 7/12
The remainder will be 5/12 which will be undertake by smith alone.
Smith will therefore take 5/12 ×6/1 = 2.5 hour or 2 hours 30 minutes
