Twice the sum of a number and 8 is the same aa the difference of 3 and the number. Find the equation that could be used to find the number, x. A. 2x+8=x-3
B. 2(x+8)=x-3
C. 2(x+8)=3-x
D. 2x+8=3-x

f your number is x, then the difference between that number and 8 would be x-8. Twice that is 2(x-8)

Three times the sum of the number and 3 would be 3(x+3). So, you get the equation:

2(x-8)=3(x+3)

2x-16=3x+9

x=-25

is means division by fractions
