Neptune has 8 known moons. This is 2 more than 1/3 of the number of known moons on Saturn. How many moons is Saturn known to have?

lol HI!!

OpenStudy (misty1212):

some people think it is good to try to enforce rules they do not understand clearly this is a math question

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

xD i thought this was science

OpenStudy (chosenmatt):

sorry about that

OpenStudy (misty1212):

if we call the number of moons Saturn has as say \(x\) then this says \[\frac{1}{3}x+2=8\] and you can solve this for \(x\) in two steps

i didnt pay too much attention to the question
