Write an equation for the following scenario. The sum of 2 times a number and 8 is equal to 3 less than that number.

2n + 8 = n -3

Step-by-step explanation:

In this scenario we will represent that number by the variable n.

So two times the number will be 2n plus  8  is 2n +8  and it has to equal 3 less that  number so it will be n-3.
