Complete the equation to represent each relationship. then solve the equation. drag and drop each term or number into the correct box to complete the equation and solve for x.

twenty-eight less than 7 times a number is the same as 20 more than the number.
( "[ ]" means empty space)
(here are the numbers: 7, 8, x, 7x, 28, 20, -8)

the equation is [ ] - [ ] = [ ] + [ ].
the solution is: x = [ ]

28 less means subtract 28

7 times a number means7x

is means equals

20 more than a number means x +20

the equation is 7x-28 =x+20

to solve combine like terms

7x-x=20+28

6x=48 divide by 6 on both sides to isolate x

x=8

you forgot the options, but i found them anyways, the correct answer is "john wilson believes that words and actions based on the intellect are superior to those based on emotions".

john wilson is depicted as an extremely intelligent man. the point of the excerpt is to make a sort of distinction between emotional and rational intelligence. he happens to have both attributes, but he clearly favors his intellectual gifts. at the same time, because of his religious background, he's a little bit conflicted with this and it makes him ashamed.

hope this !
