Answer:

-80

Explanation:

80 less than x"

We have the expression 80 less than x. X has no artifical value therefore we do nothing with it. Based off of the wording of the sentence, it says that the total of this unknown number is 80 less than x. Meaning the 80 has been subtracted by x to get this unknown number. Therefore,

x - 80
