The answer is A (Two less than four times a number is 12. To help you answer these questions in the future, try saying the equations out loud. Instead of saying "4x" say "4 times a number". It'll match the answer choices a little better and hopefully make these types of questions easier.

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Two less than 4 times a number means that you take two away from 4 times a number. In this case 4 times a number will be 4x, and taking two away will be -2.
