Answer 2

To ProvE :-

• The unknown number in the question

CalculaTioN :-

→ Let x be the unknown number it is given that

• 16 more than 8x = 24 more than 8 times of a number

• 16 + 8x = 24 + 6x

Now ,

• 8x - 6x = 24 - 16

• 2x = 8

And hence,

• x = 4

$\boxed{ \bold{ \red{hence \: the \: no = 4}{} }{} }{}$
