Respuesta :
If 8 less than the product of 6 and the difference of a number and 2 is twice the number, then the number is 5.
As per the question statement, 8 less than the product of 6 and the difference of a number and 2 is twice the number.
We are required to calculate the number.
To solve this question, let us assume that our concerned number is "x". Now, we will form a linear equation of single variable, based on the conditions mentioned in the question statement, and solving for "x", we will obtain our desired answer.
[tex][6(x-2)-8]=2x\\or, 6x-12-8=2x\\or,6x-(12+8)=2x\\or,6x-20=2x\\or,6x-2x=20\\or, 4x=20\\or, x=\frac{20}{4} =5[/tex]
