twelve is sixteen less than four times a number

Sagot :

4x-16=12 would be the equation. To solve:
Add 16 to both sides.
4x=28
Divide by 4.
x=7

Say it out loud and you should get your answer like that.

12 = 16 - 4x

Well, 16 - 4 already equals 12, so the x shouldn't have a value over 2. 

The x must be a 1. 

The equation would be 12 = 16 - 4 x 1. 

Hope this helped.
