Anumber k is decreased by eight, and the result is multiplied by eight. this product is then divided by two. what is the final result?

Simplifies to 4k - 32

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, translate the word problem into an equation:

"A number K" - k

"decreased by eight" - subtract 8 or k - 8

"the result is multiplied by eight" - multiply 8(k - 8)

"this product is then divided by two" - divide by 2 or 8(k - 8)/2.

8(k - 8) / 2 = 4(k - 8) = 4k - 32.

The simplified form is 4k - 32. To find a final numerical result, substitute any number for k and apply the equation.
