Question

Which of these is the algebraic expression for the verbal expression "twelve times the difference of a number and four?" Need help quick

Answer 1

it sounds like there needs to be a list of options for this question but

let "a number" be a variable like x

"difference of a number and four" implies subtraction so (x-4)

"twelve times" just means multiply it by 12

so something like 12(x-4)

the parentheses are important

Answer 2

Thanks
