    The answer to your question is

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Process

    1. - Eight less means that we must subtract eight units to another number.

    - 8

    2. - Twice a number means we must multiply a number by "2", this number could be letter x.

    2x

    3. - Write the equation

    2x - 8 = 6

    4. - Solve for x

    2x = 6 + 8

    2x = 14

    x = 14/2

    5. - Result

    x = 7
