Eight less than ten times a number is 82. What is the number?

Break it down

Ten times a number --> 10n
Eight less --> - 8

**So 10n - 8 = 82 Add 8 to both sides 10n = 90 Divide 10 on each side n = 10

Eight less than ten is another way of saying 10-8. So it is saying 2 times a number is 82. This can be represented as 2x=82. Divide both sides by 2 to get x=41. So the "number" is 41.
