Twenty less than eight times a number is seventy six

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

twenty less = - 20

from 8 (times a number) and the number is unknown which means it would have variable next to the eight = 8x

therefore the equation would look like 8x-20 = 76. then solve it like:

8x-20+20=76+20

8x = 96

8x/8=96/8

x = 12
