The first thing we must do for this case is to define variables.

We have then:

x: unknown number

We now write the equation that models the problem:

\(2x + 8 = x + 12
\)

From here, we clear the value of x.

\(2x - x = 12 - 8

x = 4
\)

The unknown number is equal to 4.

Answer:

The number is:

\(x = 4\)
