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>

Answer:
<h2>128</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Step one:
given the expression w/8 - 4 = 20
the first operation is to isolate the term that has w by adding 4 to both sides
w/8 - 4+4 = 20+4
w/8 = 16
Required
the value of w
Step two:
the next step is to cross multiply
w=16*8
w=128
Answer:
11/12. This is because 2/3 is equal to 8/12. 11/12 is clearly bigger than 8/12.
