Answer: Number = 1.3

Step-by-Step Solution:

Let the Unknown Number be ‘x’

• Six less than the product of twice a number and ten is twenty

Framing the Equation :-

Six less than => - 6
Twice a number => 2x
Product of 2x and ten => 2x * 10

=> (2x * 10) - 6 = 20

Solving the Equation :-

(2x * 10) - 6 = 20
20x - 6 = 20
20x = 20 + 6
20x = 26
x = 26/20
x = 13/10
=> x = 1.3

Hence, the Unknown Number = 1.3
