(92 x 2) - (9 x 2) = 162 - 18 = 144 The number is therefore 9.
the equation is 2x + 4 = x - 3 solving it yields x = -7
If a "certain number of men" less 10 takes 20 days (twice as long) to finish the piece of work, then the "certain number of men" who can finish the work in 10 days would 20. If it takes 10 men less twice as long to do the work, then twice 10 men (20) can finish the job in 10 days.
twice a number means a number times 2
Beth goals = 2x
