Question

Two less than the product of 8 and a number is 8

Answer 1

x=1.25

Explanation:

Let us replace the number with the variable "x". You will then get this equation:

8x-2=8

Move the -2 to 8 and you would get the equation:

8x=8+2

Simplify:

8x=10

Simplify:

x=10/8

You would then get the answer "x=1.25"

I hope this helps :)
