The answer of the question is C
Let x be the number.
"twelve decreased by twice a number" ---> 12 - 2x
"8 times the sum of number and 4" ---> 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8(x + 4)
12 - 2x = 8x + 32 (distributive property)
12 = 10x + 32 (add 2x to both sides)
-20 = 10x (subtract 32 from both sides)
x = -2 (divide both sides by 10)
Answer:
We can start by figuring out how much he traveled per gallon. To do so all we need to do is divide the amount of miles he drove by the gallons it took him to drive that distance (348/12). This comes out to 29 miles. THerefore he drives 29 miles per gallon of gasoline.
Now to find how far he traveled with 8 gallons we need to multiply 29 times 8 (miles per gallon times how many gallons he used)
Your answer is 232
