    5n=8n+30, which is - 10

    Step-by-step explanation:

    so five times a number, so 5n is the same (or equal to) so 5n = ... 30 more than 8 times the number (8n+30) so we get 5n=8n+30. solving this results in - 3x=30, so x=-10

    The number is - 10.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the "number" be x.

    5x=8x+30

    30=5x-8x

    30=-3x

    x=30/-3

    x=-10
