Five times the difference of a number and 12 minus 4 times the same number is – 36. What is the equation? Also, don't comment if you don't know or you claim you'll send me the link! I will report you if this happens.

Answer 1

14

Explanation:

The equation is:

5(x-12) - 4x = -36

5x - 60- 4x = - 36

x = 14

Check:

5(14 - 12) - 56 = -36

70 - 60 - 56 = - 46
