Answer:
Option D. 16
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number
we know that
The linear equation that represent this problem is equal to
[tex]\frac{3}{4}x-2=10[/tex]
Solve for x
Multiply by 4 both sides
[tex](4)*\frac{3}{4}x-2*4=10*4[/tex]
[tex]3x-8=40[/tex]
Adds 8 both sides
[tex]3x-8+8=40+8[/tex]
[tex]3x=48[/tex]
Divide by 3 both sides
[tex]3x/3=48/3[/tex]
[tex]x=16[/tex]
therefore
The number is 16
