The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

Since the number of charter schools is eight less than twice the number of alternative schools, then it’s:

2x - 8 
and then
2x - 8 = 36 
2x = 44 
x = 22

So there are 22 Alternative Schools in the county. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
