--Answer--

The number is 8.
We verify:

x + 12 = 20 
x = 20 - 12
x = 8

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.

Answer:

d.  x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u />\sqrt{(x + 3)}÷ (x+8)(x-2) = 0

f(x) / g(x) = 0

Variable x cannot be equal to any of the values −8,2 since division by zero is not defined. Multiply both sides of the equation by (x−2)(x+8).

<u />\sqrt{(x + 3)} = 0 ------ square both sides

x + 3 = 0

solve for x:

x = -3
