let books he has is x
then req. equation will be 50 - 3x = 8
3x = 50 - 8
3x = 42
x = 14.
thus, he had 14 books

Dilshad93: a mistake is there
Sunandit: nope
Dilshad93: ur anser is 50-3x=8, when the 3x goes transposed it will be -3x
Sunandit: no its will be + 3x
Sunandit: its already -ve
Sunandit: so when transported, it will become +ve
Sunandit: u can check it again
Dilshad93: in the quistion i told u munna is substrated thice a number then it will be -3
Dilshad93: -3x

Let the no. of notebooks
be x
So, 50 - 3x = 8
3x = 50 - 8
3x = 42
x = 42 / 3
x = 14
So, Total no. of notebooks = 14

Hope it will help u...
