    X is the number:

    Therefore, the equation is:

    8 (x-2) = 3 (x+3)

    8x-16=3x+9

    8x-3x=9+16

    5x=25

    x=25/5

    x=5

    Answer: the equation is: 8 (x-2) = 3 (x+3), and the number is: 5

    Difference=subtraction

    Sum=addition

    8 (x-2) = 3 (x+3)

    8x-16=3x+9

    8x-3x-16=3x-3x+9

    5x-16=9

    5x-16+16=9+16

    5x=25

    x=25:5

    x=5
