Question

What is eight less than the product of two and a number equals four translated into an equation

Answer 1

Let's break down the given sentence into an equation.

Let's assume the number is represented by 'x'.

The product of two and a number: 2x

Eight less than the product of two and a number: 2x - 8

Equals four: 2x - 8 = 4

Therefore, the equation is 2x - 8 = 4.
