Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"
R =4/3 (p-q)
3 x r = 4 (p-q)
(3 x r)/4 = p - q
(3 x r)/4 - q = p

AAB I think that's it get back to me If its wrong
Answer:
-1
Step-by-step explanation:
The required relation is ...
7n = n^2 -8
0 = n^2 -7n -8 . . . . put in standard form
0 = (n -8)(n +1) . . . . factor
Solutions are n=8 and n=-1.
The negative solution is -1.
