D. 2(n-8)
The difference of a number and eight is separate from being multiplied by 2 which is why you would use parenthesis.
Answer:
If M is midpoint of AB, then
AM=MB
4x-5= 2x+11
2x=16
x=8
AM= 4x-5
=4(8)-5
=32-5
=27
BM=2x+11
=2(8)+11
=16+11
=27
Hope it helps:-)
Let's call the number you thought of n. Then what the two steps you took can be written as an equation:

Subtract n to get all of your variables to one side:

At this point, I recommend turning your mixed number into an improper fraction. It will make things easier later on:

Now divide both sides by 11 to get the value of n:
Answer:
