Answer:

The correct answer is that the number is 12.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

While this question is written in a convoluted manner, it is asking you to decrease 2/3x by 8. This is the expression for that.

2/3x - 8

And it is saying that it is equal to 4/8, which can be simplified to 1/2.

2/3x - 8 = 1/2

Now we can solve for the x.

2/3x - 8 = 1/2

2/3x = 17/2

x = 12.75
