eight less than ten times a number is 82
Eight less than ten is another way of saying 10-8. So it is saying 2 times a number is 82. This can be represented as 2x=82. Divide both sides by 2 to get x=41. So the "number" is 41.
Break it down- Ten times a number --> 10n- Eight less --> - 8**So 10n - 8 = 82Add 8 to both sides10n = 90Divide 10 on each siden = 10
