To find the expression for "Eight increased by the product of 2 and two less than a number," we can break it down into small steps:

1. Start with a number, let's call it "x."
2. Two less than this number would be (x - 2).
3. Multiply the result from step 2 by 2: 2 * (x - 2).
4. Add 8 to the result from step 3: 8 + 2 * (x - 2).

Therefore, the expression for "Eight increased by the product of 2 and two less than a number" is 8 + 2 * (x - 2).
