Answer:
The number is 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets write this as an equation first. We'll substitute the number for the variable <em>x</em>.
80 - 3x = 5x + 8
First, let's add 3x to both sides.
80 - 3x + 3x = 5x + 3x + 8
80 = 8x + 8
Next, let's subtract 8 from both sides.
80 - 8 = 8x + 8 - 8
72 = 8x
Finally, let's divide both sides by 8.
72/8 = 8x/8
9 = x
<em>"x" is 9.</em>
<em>So the secret number is 9.</em>
