Question

28 is 12 less than k. write an equation

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{28=k-12}$

Represent "$28$ is". $28=$

Use subtraction to represent "$12$ less than $k$". $k-12$

Put the two parts together. $\boxed{28=k-12}$

Answer 2

28=k-12

28+12=k

Since 28 is 12 less than k, it means k is 12 greater than 28. So, you could write in either of those equations. Therefore, the answer for this problem is 28=k-12 or 28+12=k.
