$\bold{STEP-BY-STEP-EXPLANATION}$

Let us assume the required number be x

Thrice the number = 3x

The given above statement can be written in the equation form as,

= 50 - 3x = 8

By transposing 50 from LHS to RHS it becomes - 50

= – 3x = 8 - 50

= -3x = - 42

Then,

Divide both side by -3,

= (-3x/-3) = – 42/-3

= x = 14
