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

Answer:</h3>
Your selection is correct: 180 hours
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
The pool is apparently 18000 gallons (= 60 gal/h × 300 h). The combined flow from the two hoses is ...
... (40 gal/h) + (60 gal/h) = 100 gal/h
So, the time required with the two hoses is ...
... 18000 gal/(100 gal/h) = 180 h
Area of circle = πr²
Given that area = 153.86 m², find the radius:
153.86 = πr²
r² = 153.86 ÷ π
r² = 48.98
r = √48.98
r = 7 m
Diameter = Radius x 2 = 7 x 2 = 14 m
Answer: Diameter = 14 m
