Question

Eight times of a number reduced by 20 is equal to the sum of six times the number and 3 find the number

Answer 1

let no be x 
8 times reduced by 20 = 8x - 20 
6 times no and 3 = 6x+ 3 
8x - 20 = 6x + 3
8x - 6x = 3 + 20
2x = 23 
x = 23 / 2 
no = 23/2

Answer 2

let a number be x

eight times a number = 8x

8x reduced by 20 = 8x - 20

8x - 20 is equal to six times a number and three = 
                                                           8x - 20 = 6x +3
                                                           8x -6x = 3+20
                                                                2x = 23
                                                                  x = 23/2 = 11.5
therefore the number is 11.5
