How to write a real word problem to - 8x 60=28

The sign that should be between - 8x and 60 is the plus sign (+) for addition.

The equation should look like this:

-8x + 60 = 28

Find x. Transfer 60 to the other side and change its sign from positive to negative

-8x = 28 - 60

-8x = - 32

Find x. divide both sides by - 8

-8x / - 8 = - 32 / - 8

x = 4

To check: substitute x by its value.

-8x + 60 = 28

-8 (4) + 60 = 28

-32 + 60 = 28

28 = 28
