Given,

Three times a number diminished by 8 is equal to 16.

To find,

The value of x.

Solution,

Let the given number be x.

Three times the number x is = 3x.

The number is then diminished by 8 and the result obtained is  6.

Mathematically it can be represented as -

⇒   3x - 8 = 16.

-8 would shift from LHS to RHS and its sign would change from -8 to +8.Then we would get,

⇒  3x = 16 + 8

⇒  3x = 24

⇒   x = 8..

Hence, Three times a number diminished by 8 is equal to 16 is 8.
