2times the difference of a number and 8 is equivalent to 5 less than a number.

11

Step-by-step explanation:

2*(x - 8) = x - 5

2x - 16 = x - 5

2x - x = -5 + 16

x = 11

$15 each

step-by-step explanation:

$45/3 children= $15 each

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )
