Answer:

Let that number be 'x'

Now first part of the question tells us that 8 less than twice a number which is"x".

so twice a number would be 2x

then 8 less than would 2x-8

and the given result of the equation is 14

so the equation iis 2x-8=14

2x=14+8

2x=22

x=22/2

x=11 So the number is 11

Hope you find it helpful
