One number is eight more than twice another if their difference is 25. The larger number is 42
the number is negative two.
The difference between a number x and twice y is equal to fifteen.

Twice a number increased by eight is greater than negative four.
the number is negative two.
Twice a number minus two giving us the answer as eight is number 5.
Eight added to twice a number is 42.Give the number the name of ' X '.8 + 2X = 42' X ' is 17.
2x/8; x = the number
It's an example of converting something easy into something nearly impossible, and then expressing it obscurely. Behind the veil lies an almost trivial algebra exercise. Although the question doesn't ask for the solution to the exercise, here it is anyway, at no extra cost: -- The difference between (eight times a number) and (twice the number) is (six times the number). -- (Six times the number) is eighteen. -- (the number) is one-sixth of eighteen, or three.
