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)

Answer:
14.3
Step-by-step explanation:
9/5= 9.2/x (cross multiply)
5 x 9.2= 46
46 ÷ 9 = 5.1
9.2 + 5.1 = 14.3
6 3/4 hours = (6*60)+45 = 405 minutes
7/5 = 1,4
405 minutes * 1,4 = 567 minutes
= Jack spent 9 3/4 hours
