Solving:

Delete the first parentheses by the distributive property, with the distributive property, we multiply the '3' first, then resolve it and the second parentheses eliminate by changing the sign:

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The number is 42.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the unknown number.
"two less than a number" is x - 2
Quotient means the result of a division.
(x - 2)/5 = 8
Multiply both sides by 5.
x - 2 = 40
Add 2 to both sides.
x = 42
Answer: The number is 42.
Check.
Start with 42. 2 less than 42 is 40. The quotient of 40 and 5 is 40/5 which is 8. The answer is correct.
Answer:
58.4
119.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
Let one angle = x
Let the other angle = x + 58.4
Together they make 180 degrees.
Equation
x + x + 58.4 = 180 Collect like terms.
Solution
2x + 58.4 = 180 Subtract 58.4 from both sides
2x = 180 - 58.4
2x = 121.6 Divide by 2
x = 60.8
Answer
x = 60.8
x + 58.4 = 119.2
The only possibility if a number is not even is that it is odd. Thus, the event would be the product is an odd number.
