The sum of eight and a number is one hundred. What is the number?

Parth (parthkohli):

\[8 + x = 100\] \[x = 100 - 8\] \[x = 92\] We have it :D

Yep, this is the same thing.. just do the opposite problem on the other side. +8 would mean you do -8 to the other side. :)

Parth (parthkohli):

@Austin_Rain A better way to say this is that we are subtracting 8 from both sides :)

@ParthKohli I know, but I explained this already in his other problem. :) http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/4fa166dae4b029e9dc3248db
