Answer:
103
Step-by-step explanation:
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
6 times a number n is 6n.
In algebra, when number multiply with variables, you don't need a multiplication sign (x). You just put them together like 6n (instead of 6 x n).

Do $8.31/3 and $12.95/5 and that will give you a price per pound and whichever is cheaper would be a better deal.
