Answer:
Option A. 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number be T
The difference between the number and 6 is written as: T — 6
4 times the number is written as: 4T
But we were told from the question, that 8 times the difference between the number and 6 is equal to 4 times the number. This is written as:
8(T — 6) = 4T
Clear the bracket
8T — 48 = 4T
Collect like terms
8T — 4T = 48
4T = 48
Divide both side by the coefficient of T i.e 4
T = 48/4
T = 12
Therefore the number is 12
