Assume that this number is n.
Difference between two number means the subtraction between them.
Therefore, "<span>The difference between a number and 12 is 20" means that when subtracting these two numbers, the result is 20.

Since the question did not mention which number is greater, therefore, we have two ways to write the equation.
These two ways are as follows:
x - 12 = 20, and
12 - x = 20

Given:

DE = (6x - 9) cm

EF = (4x + 4) cm

LM = 14 cm

MN = 16 cm

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

<em>If three or more parallel lines intersect two transversals, then they cut off the transversals proportionally.</em>

$$\Rightarrow \frac{DE}{EF} =\frac{LM}{MN}$

$$\Rightarrow \frac{6x-9}{4x+4} =\frac{14}{16}$

Do cross multiplication.

$$\Rightarrow 16( {6x-9})=14 ({4x+4} )$

$$\Rightarrow 96x-144=56 x+56$

Add 144 on both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 96x-144+144=56 x+56+144$

$$\Rightarrow 96x=56 x+200$

Subtract 56x from both sides.

$$\Rightarrow 96x-56x=56 x+200-56x$

$$\Rightarrow 40x=200$

Divide by 40 on both sides, we get

$$\Rightarrow x=5$

The value of x is 5.
