Answer:

(x - 5) - 8 = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets portion each part out:

Eight less than

The difference of a number and five

Is twelve.

First, we must write down the portion with "a number" in it: x - 5. We use subtraction because the sentence states "the difference".

Next, we will write down "eight less than". The problem states that twelve is "eight less than" the difference. This means that we must subtract 8 from out first part: (x - 5) - 8

Finally, the sentence tells us that this equals twelve: (x - 5) - 8 = 12

L = $20 r = 4% t = 2 years
Annette [7]
I'm guessing this is a question about interest rates? If you have $20 that increases by 4% in one year, you need to multiply 20 by 1.04. This gets you $20.8.

If you are talking about compound interest, we will take this number and multiply it again by 1.04 for the second year. 20.8 x 1.04 = $21.632. 

If it is instead simple interest, we will simply add another .8 dollars for each year, instead of getting 4% interest compounded every year onto the new value. This gets you $21.6.
