    Break it down

    - Ten times a number - - > 10n

    - Eight less - - > - 8

    **So 10n - 8 = 82

    Add 8 to both sides

    10n = 90

    Divide 10 on each side

    n = 10

    Eight less than ten is another way of saying 10-8. So it is saying 2 times a number is 82. This can be represented as 2x=82. Divide both sides by 2 to get x=41. So the "number" is 41.
