Answer: 8- 3x = 2 will be the answer.
Explanation:
let us consider the number is x .
so, the three times of the number= 3×x=3x
when eight decreases by this three times of the number then its expression = 8-3x
And, according to the question, this expression is equal to two.
Thus, 8-3x=2, where x=2.( because, 8-2=3x⇒6=3x⇒x=2)
