More than means + (10)
twice a number means 2x
x represents the number u looking for
Equation= 2x + 10=88
Do the opposite operations
88-10=78
2x=78
78÷2=39

x=39

To recheck ur answer
(2×39)+10=88

fr this we need to form an equation .... so

for ten more , we can keep it as 10 +

that twice the number means twice some number and that number will be x

so it will be 2x , and we already know the answer so

in equation : 2x + 10 = 88

2x + 10 = 88

2x = 88 - 10 = 77

2x = 77

x = 77/2

∴ = 38.5
