    26

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's make an equation for this:

    (8 * x) - 22 = 186

    Let's simplify this a little bit by reversing it:

    186 + 22 = 8 * x

    186 + 22 = 208

    208 = 8 * x

    Let's reverse it again:

    x * 8 = 208

    208 / 8 = 26

    x = 26

    So, the number is 26
