I think of a number, multiply it by 6 and add 12. I get 4 more than 8 times my original number. a) Write an equation to represent the problem.​

let the number be x.

now, according to above statement required equation is :

  • 6x + 12 = 8x + 4

let's find the actual number

  • 6x + 12 = 8x - 4

  • 8x - 6x = 12 - 4

  • 2x = 8

  • x = 4

Hey there!

Let's take the number as 'x'.

So, if we multiply x by 6 we will get -> 6x. Then we should add 12 to it & we will then get the left-hand side (LHS) as -> 6x + 12.

Next for the right-hand side, we should multiply the number (x) by 8 times, -> 8x & add 4 more to it. We'll get the terms as -> 4 + 8x.

So, now the equation together becomes -> 6x + 12 = 4 + 8x.

Hope it helps ya!
