I Think of a number. If i subtract 8 from it and multiply the difference by 3 the result is 21. What is the number i am thinking of?

8 answers

(n - 8) / 3 = 21

n - 8 = 63

n = 71
The answer is supposed to be 15
I'm sorry. I goofed. The problem states that the difference is multiplied, not divided, by 3.

3 (n - 8) = 21
3n - 24 = 21
3n = 45
n = 15
21
i hate this i dont understand
Thanks for the answers
And I will need more
3(×-8)=21
3×-24=21
3×-24+24=21+24
3×÷45÷3
×=15
15
