Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Four less than the product of a number and 8:

8x−4

is twice the sum of the number and 10, so

8x−4=2(x+10)

Simplify.

8x−4=2x+20

Add 4 to both sides, which is

8x=2x+24

Subtract 2x from both sides:

6x=24

Divide 6 from both sides to isolate the x

x=4

-how I got 20

8x-4=2(x+10) x=8 so 8+10=18 18+2=20
