8(x - 6) = 4x
Distribute.
8x - 48 = 4x
Subtract 8x from both sides.
8x -8x - 48 =4x -8x
Now you have...
-48 = -4x
Divide -4 by both sides.
-48/-4 = -4x/-4
12 = x
The number is 12.

Answer:  12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x.

Given statement: 8 times the difference between a number and 6 is equal to 4 times the number.

then, the required equation :

8(x-6)=4x

Divide both sides by 4 , we gte

\dfrac{8(x-6)}{4}=\dfrac{4x}{4}

Simplify

2(x-6)=x

Multiply 2 inside the parenthesis.

2x-12=x

Subtract x and add 12 on both sides , we gte

2x-x-12+12=x-x+12

Simplify

x=12

Hence, the number is <u>12</u>.

What is an absolute value? What does it do? When would we need to use an absolute value
Nana76 [90]
Absolute Value Absolute Value means ...

... only how far a number is from zero:

<span> <span><span> </span> <span> <span> "6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero. So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span> </span> </span></span>

More Examples:

<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span> No Negatives!

So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or zero).

Absolute Value Symbol

To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put "|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right side of a keyboard), like these examples:

<span> <span><span> |−5| = 5 |7| = 7 </span> </span></span> Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>
