Eight less than the product of two and a number x xx.

2x - 8 that's how u write it in an expression

Hi!

The correct answer is 2x - 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct the expression is convenient to do it by parts.

First: Eight less than a number x is: x - 8.

For example if x = 10, eight less than 10 is 2. 10 - 8 = 2.

Second: The product of two and a number x is: 2x.

For example if x = 10, the product of two and 10 is 20. 2*10 = 20.

Third: Eight less than the product of two and a number x: 2x - 8

For example if x = 10, eight less than the product of two and 10. 2*10 - 8 = 12.
