Eight times a number plus six less than twice the number is 34.

Step 1. Let n be the number.

Step 2. Let 8n be eight times a number

Step 4. Then 8n+2n-6=34 since eight times a number plus six less than twice the number is 34.

Step 5. Solving yields the following steps.

Add 6 to both sides of the equation

Divide by 10 to both sides of the equation

Step 6. ANSWER: The number is 4.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
