If the sum of triple the number, n, and 8 is equal to 10 less than the number n, the value of n is -9

  • Let the known number be "n"

  • Triple of the number "n" is 3n

  • The sum of a triple of the number and 8 is expressed as 3n + 8
  • 10 less than the number n is expressed as n - 10

Equating both result will give;

3n + 8 = n - 10

Collect the like terms

3n - n = -10 - 8

2n = -18

n = -18/2

n = -9

Hence the required value of n is -9
