--Answer--

The number is 8.
We verify:

x + 12 = 20 
x = 20 - 12
x = 8

I hope it helps you :)

Build an equation from this phrase.

"The sum of a number and 12..." The word sum is the keyword of what operation we are doing. We are doing addition. When we continue the phrase we know we are adding a number (an unknown) and 12.

So, on the left-hand side we have x + 12.

"... is 20" In mathematics, the word 'is' can mean equal. So, the left-hand side will equal the number 20.

Now we have the equation x + 12 = 20.

Solve for x.

x + 12 = 20
x = 8 <-- Subtract each side by 12

So, x is equal to 8.

WILL MARK BRIANLIEST!
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

(4, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

x + y = 2 → (1)

x - y = 6 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations term by term will eliminate the term in y, that is

(x + x) + (y - y) = (2 + 6)

2x = 8 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 4

Substitute x = 4 in either of the 2 equations and solve for y

Substituting in (1)

4 + y = 2 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = - 2

Solution is (4, - 2 )
