Sixteen and two-tenth subtracted from two times a number

The required number is 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number = x

To find, the required number = ?

According to question,

∴ 2x - 16 - 2 * 10 = 0

⇒ 2x - 16 - 20 = 0

⇒ 2x - 36 = 0

⇒ 2x = 36

⇒ x = 18

∴ The required number = 18

Thus, the required number is 18.
