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:
Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that there are a total of 78 students. If we set the following variables:

Then, the sum of all of these must be 78, that is:

Since there are 15 in chemistry and physics and 47 in chemistry, we may replace that into the equation and we get:

Simplifying:

Now we solve for P by subtracting 62 on both sides:

Therefore, there are 16 students in physics
