In order to solve this problem, we must solve an equation.
First, we need to define our unknown.
Let's call our number "n".
So, the sum of the number and 6 is the same as saying n+6
Then we need to multiply it by 2 (since it's twice the sum)
2(n+6)
This whole thing is equal to three times of the difference of the number and 8
n-8 is equal to the difference between the number and 8, then we need to multiply it by three.
3(n-8)
now, we set both sides equal and solve
The number is 36

Answer:
0-4x + 9x
Step-by-step explanation:
0-4x + 9x = 9x - 4x = 5x
The answer is this:
4 x 10 = 40 - 0.4 = 3.6
$3.60
Answer:
$1.75 each
Step-by-step explanation:
5 people total
5 sodas at $5.50 = $27.50
5 hot dogs at $12.75 = $63.75
Total = $91.25
Each paid $20 = $100.00
Change = $8.75
Each receives: $1.75/each
