Problema Solution

eight times a number added to -9, subtracted from twice the sum of eight times the number and 9

Answer provided by our tutors

let 'n' represent the number


"eight times a number added to -9" is "(8n-9)"


"twice the sum of eight times the number and 9" is "2(8n+9)"


so we have:

2(8n+9) - (8n-9)


which simplifies to:

8n+27
