First, let's write the equation.
Ten times a number -- 10x
16 more -- 10x - 16
Twice the number -- 2x
10x - 16 = 2x or 10x = 2x + 16
Let's use the first one: 10x - 16 = 2x
First, let's isolate the x to one side.
10x - 16 = 2x
-10x -10x
-16 = -8x
Now, let's multiply each side by -1 to make them positive
-16 = -8x
*-1 *-1
16 = 8x
Finally, let's divide each side by 8
16 = 8x

8 8
Our answer is 2 = x
This means that the number is 2.
I hope I helped!
