Answer:
18 Is the am
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this we need to break down what each term means.
Two more than would look like x + 2
One-third of a number is 1/3*X or X/3
From this we can say x*1/3 + 2 = 8
To find X, you need to get X alone.
First, subtract 2 from both sides to get rid of the + 2 factor
X*1/3 = 6
Multiple both sides by 3 to resolve the 1/3 factor
X = 6*3 = 18
