Question

Consider the equation: 3 4 x − 12 = 12 Which statement could be a translation of the given equation? A number minus 12 is three-fourths of 12. Three-fourths of a number minus twelve is the same as twelve. Three-fourths of a number is twelve. Three-fourths of twelve is a number

Answer 1

Answer:

Three-fourths of a number minus twelve is the same as twelve

where x is an unknown number.

The first term indicates "three-fourths of a number". After calculating the first term you have to subtract twelve to it, to finally get twelve.

Answer 2

Answer:

The translation statement for the given equation $\frac{3}{4}x-12=12$ is " Three-fourths of a number minus twelve is the same as twelve. "

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is $\frac{3}{4}x-12=12$

To find the statement which could be a translation of the given equation :

• $\frac{3}{4}x-12=12$
• The above equation can be written as
• Three-fourths of a number x minus twelve is equal to twelve.

Therefore the translation statement for the given equation $\frac{3}{4}x-12=12$ is " Three-fourths of a number minus twelve is the same as twelve. "

The option is " Three-fourths of a number minus twelve is the same as twelve. " correct
