Again, you are being asked to translate, so you have several keywords that you need to know.
00:05
So difference means minus a number.
00:08
That means you're going to have a variable because you don't know what it is.
00:12
And every time you have e -is, that means equal.
00:16
So the difference between eight and some number, again, that means minus.
00:23
So you're going to have eight minus x because you don't know what that number is.
00:27
But you know that difference is 1 .7 more.
00:32
So again, that means you're going to add 1 .7 2, 2 times the number, meaning you're going to take that number and multiply it by 2, and you're going to add 1 .7, and that's the same thing that is if you were subtracting 8 minus, that number that you want to know.
00:53
So now that you have the equation, you are going to have the x's on only one side.
01:01
One thing you can do is move this instead of minus but a plus x plus x and then i am left with just eight because a negative and a positive cancel each other out in this case you have three x plus 1 .7 the next step you want to do is you want to leave x alone so you need to get rid of this 1 .7 it's plus so the opposite is 1 .7 you're subtracting so you're going to do it to this side as well...
