If you subtract twelve from twice a number, the result is eight. what is the number?

Let's represent the number with Y

Twice the number will be 2Y

12 is subtracted from it. That will be;

2Y-12

And it is equal to 8

2Y-12=8

-12 will go over the equality sign to become + 12

2Y=8+12

2Y=20

Divide both sides by 2

Y=20/2

Y=10

The number is 10

Have a nice day

2x - 12 = 8

2x = 8 + 12

2x = 20

x = 20/2

x = 10 < = = ur number
