Question

28 is 12 less than k

Answer 1

Answer: Value of k must be 40.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

28 is 12 less than k

1) 12 less than k means

`k-12`

As we use "Subtraction" for less than purpose.

2) For "is" we would use "Equality":

So, our final equation becomes

`k-12=28\\\\k=28+12\\\\k=40`

Hence, Value of k must be 40.
