115 is n that’s the answer
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
That's answer.
The temperature was changing at a rate of 2.925 degrees Celsius in 2005
<h3>How to determine the rate in 2005</h3>
From the graph (see attachment), we have the following ordered pair
(x,y) = (5,14.625)
The above means that, the temperature in 2005 is 14.625 degrees Celsius
So, the rate in 2005 is:


Hence, the temperature was changing at a rate of 2.925 degrees Celsius in 2005
