Equation: =−2
The number is n =
.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am not sure you wrote all necessary information.

but based on what I understood :

8 + n/3 = -2

n/3 = -10

n = -30

Answer:

Let the required number be "n"

According to the above problem,

[tex]8 + \frac{n}{3} = - 2 \\ \frac{n}{3} = - 2 - 8 \\ \frac{n}{3} = - 10 \\ n = 3 \times ( - 10) \\ \boxed{ n = - 30}[/tex]

Therefore,

  • n = -30 is the right answer.
