Question

The difference between a number and 12 is 20

Write an equation

Answer 1

Okay so we know difference means to subtract, and we know by saying "a number" they mean the value is unknown. Since idk if you have to use a specific variable for this problem, I'll use n as an example. So it's basically saying we're subtracting 12 from an unknown number and that it'll equal 20. So the equation would be n-12=20.

Answer 2

20 - 12 = x
combine like terms, theres ur answer
