Write and solve an equation to find the number n. Four times the difference of a number and 7 is 12

Answer 1

You need to break down each piece of the problem.

"4 times" represents multiplication

"difference of a number and 7" = n - 7

When you put the two together you will have 4(n - 7)

"is" means "="

So 4(n - 7) = 12
