Answer:
<em>It will take 12 hours to fill the tank</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
Proportions
Tap A fills a tank in 4 hours. It means each hour it fills 1/4 of the tank.
Tap B fills the tank in 3 hours. Each hour it fills 1/3 of the tank.
Tap C empties the tank when full in 2 hours. Each hour it empties 1/2 of the tank.
Each hour, the tank gets filled by:

Since the tank fills 1/12 of its capacity in one hour, it follows that it will take 12 hours to fill the tank
The incorrect answer is B.
All you have to do is plug in x to the formulas and see if the are equal.
4x - 2 = 3x + 6
4(8) - 2 = 3(8) + 6
30 = 30
CORRECT
The second is not only not equal, but it is the wrong kind of formula for what you are trying to prove there.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
12 people are needed to build 12 bikes in 6 hours
If this helps: 10 x .5 would be the same as 50% of 10. Also: 40 x .12 would be the same as 12% of 40.
