Step: 1
We multiply 8 with 2 to get the left hand side of the expression.
Step: 2
So, the expression would be 16 = 27 - ___.
Step: 3
Substitute the choices in the above expression to check which number would make the expression true.
Step: 4
Substitute 8 in the expression, 27 - 8 = 19 and 19 > 16.
Step: 5
Substitute 9 in the expression, 27 - 9 = 18 and 18 > 16.
Step: 6
Substitute 13 in the expression, 27 - 13 = 14 and 14 < 16.
Step: 7
Substitute 11 in the expression, 27 - 11 = 16 and 16 = 16.
Step: 8
So, the number 11 makes the equation true.
