Answer 1

\[x=number\]

Answer 2

\[4-x+2=12-x\]

Answer 3

Let the number be x.

Twice the number = 2x.

"4 is subtracted from twice a number"

=> "4 is subtracted from 2x

That means, 2x - 4

As the result is 12 less than number, that is : x - 12.

Therefore , 2x - 4 = x-12

Answer 4

this is the equation
