Answer:
Given:
Four times a number decreased by ten is eight less than twice the number.
What To Do:
We have to form the equation and solve to find the value of a number.
Solution:
Let the number be x.
According to the statement,
The equation will be,
⇒ 4x 10 = 2x - 8
Take 2x to LHS and 10 to RHS,
⇒ 4x-2x = - 8 + 10
Solve the brackets,
⇒2x = 2
Take 2 to RHS,
