Answer 1

I just need the equation other wise I can figure it out on my own

Answer 2

Ok so what you need to do is to substitute the numbers

Answer 3

8-x^2= 20+x

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

I think the "doubled" part should be times 2 and not ^2
because ^2 would have been "squared"

Answer 6

and "eight less than a" would be 2x - 8 and not 8 - 2x

Answer 7

so 2x?

Answer 8

ok ... so 2x-8=20+x?
