Three-sevenths of a number is eight more than three-sixths of the number. what is the number?
how do i work this

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

x=−112
