4times a number less than 6 is 8 more than twice that number. find the number.

First, let's break the worded equation up into two parts:

- "4 times a number less than 6'

This is 4 * (6-x)

- "8 more than twice that number"

This is 2x+8

Now combine these two expressions:

4 * (6-x) =  2x+8

4 * (6-x) = 2 * (x+4) 

2 * (6-x) = x+4

12-2x = x+4

-3x = -8

x = 8/3
