Answer:
More than means addition and product means multiplication. Therefore, seven more than the product of three and x would mean multiplying 3 and x together then adding 7 to that. Or, 3x + 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number.
"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)
Use the exponent property regarding a power to power. When you have a power to power, you multiply both powers. In this case, you will get 7^-6. That is equivalent to the first option. I hope this helped, though it is a bit late xD.
