Answer:

x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can make an equation that meets the requirements stated.

Decreased signifies subtraction, so 12 will reduce the value after it. A number can be any letter you'd like, but I'll stick to x. Since 2 is multiplying <em>that</em> number, we can make 2 the coefficient. Finally, set it equal to 8.

12 - 2x = 8 Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation.

-2x = -4 Divide by -2 on both sides of the equation.

x = 2
