The unknown number is - 2.5
Let the number = n
The equation will be formed as follows;
- eight times a number plus two = 8n + 2
- Two times the quantity of eight times a number plus two = 2(8n + 2)
- two times the same number minus seven = 2n - 7
- three the quantity of two times the same number minus seven = 3(2n-7)
Our final equation becomes;
2(8n + 2) = 3(2n-7)
Simplify as follow, to determine the unknown number;
16n + 4 = 6n - 21
16n - 6n = -25
10n = -25
n = -2.5
Thus, the unknown number is - 2.5
