Answer:
Solution:
let the number be x.
Twice the number means = 2x
Twice the number increase by 8 means =2x+8
Twice the number increase by 8 is 20 then means
2x+8=20
Therefore the solution to this equation will be as follows:
2x=20–8
2x=12
Divide both sides by the coefficient of x,that is 2 in this case:
2x/2=12/2
This becomes:
x=6
Hope this helps.
Take care!
