Question

16 more than eight of a certain number is twenty four more than 6 times of that number. What is the number?

Answer 1

8x + 16 = 6x + 24
2x = 8

x = 4

Answer 2

let the number =x
16 more than 8times the number=24 more than 6 times of the number
16+8x=24+6x
8x-6x=24-16
2x=8
x=8/2
x=4
therefore
required number=x=4
