Answer: -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= the number

2x-4=x-10 ⇔ according to the statement

  x-4=-10 ⇔ subtraction property of equality (subtract x from both sides)

     x=-6 ⇔ addition property of equality (add 4 on both sides)

Hope this helps!! :)

Answer:

n = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright so this can be solved by using variables. Let's say n = number.

4 subtracted from twice a number can be represented as 2n - 4.

10 less than the number can be represented as n - 10.

Since the outcome of the first expression is equal to the second, we can set them equal to each other to solve:

2n - 4 = n - 10.

Then you isolate n by adding 4 to both sides...

2n = n - 6,

... then subtracting n from both sides:

n = -6

There you go!
