Three-sevenths of a number is eight more than three-sixths of the number. what is the number?

How do I work this

First start with the written equation

Every (of) means * (multiply) / / every (more than) means + (add) / / every (is) mean = (equals)

=3/7*x=8+3/6*x

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

3/7x=8+3/6x

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

3/7x=8+3/6x

Simplify: (Show steps)

3/7x=1/2x+8

Step 2: Subtract 1/2x from both sides.

3/7x-1/2x=1/2x+8-1/2x

-1/14x=8

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 14 / (-1).

(14/-1) * (-1/14x) = (14/-1) * (8)

x=-112

Answer:

x=-112
