Answer 1

Answer:

A - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to set up your equation.

2x+8 = 10

then solve for x

2x=10-8 (You want to get x by itself)

2x=2

DIVIDE BY 2

x=1

I hope this helped

Answer 2

Given:

Sum of two numbers=10

One number=8

To find:

The other number

Solution:

The number's required value is 1. (Option a)

We will form an equation using the given information.

Let the other required number be X.

Two times the other number=2×X=2X

On adding 2X with 8, we get 10.

So, using the values, we get

2X+8=10

On using addition,

2X=10-8

2X=2

X=1

Therefore, the required number is 1.
