Answer:
1.526
Step-by-step explanation:
12-2x-9x-2 = 4+8x-32
-11x+10 = 8x-28
-19x = -29
x = 1.526
"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)
That's answer.
18-B
I'm not so sure about 19 I know the longest someone can have a loan it's up to 7 years but I would have no idea about credit reports but I would guess they would almost be the same
