Question

if 12 is subtracted from a number and the result is multiplied by 4 , result is 4 . what is the number
​

Answer 1

Answer:

From this first line “A number is subtracted from 3”, the result of this equation is (3-X).

Reading the next line, “the results is multiplied by 4 and the answer is 8, we can derive that the equation is: (3-X) x 4 = 8.

So then we can solve for X to find the number

(3 - X) x 4 = 8

3 - X = 8/4

3 - X = 2

X = 3 - 2

X = 1

The answer is 1.

Answer 2

Let the number be x

Therefore,

ATQ,

(12x)4=4

12x =4/4

12x=1

x=1/12

I hope that this will help you...
