To solve this question, we need to write the questions algebraically. Let's look at the problem first: The sum of a number 8, and twice the number x is equal to 28.
Algebraic form:
8 + 2x = 28
Lets solve this!
8 + 2x = 28 (Algebraic Form)
2x = 28 - 8 (Subtract 8 from both sides)
2x = 20 (Divide by 2)
x = 10 (Answer)
ANSWER:
x = 10
