ANSWERS ARE AT THE BOTTOM

To solve this question, we need to write the questions algebraically. Let's look at the problem first: The sum of a number 8, and twice the number x is equal to 28.

Algebraic form:

8 + 2x = 28

Lets solve this!

8 + 2x = 28            (Algebraic Form)

2x = 28 - 8             (Subtract 8 from both sides)

2x = 20                  (Divide by 2)

x = 10                     (Answer)

ANSWER:

x = 10
