Question

Twenty less than eight times a number is seventy six

Answer 1

Answer:

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

twenty less = -20

from 8(times a number) and the number is unknown which means it would have variable next to the eight = 8x

therefore the equation would look like 8x-20 =76. then solve it like:

8x-20+20=76+20

8x = 96

8x/8=96/8

x= 12
