are you sure bc theres also 12n
Yes, I am sure. The phrase "12 more than a number" specifically means that you take a number (often represented as \( n \)) and add 12 to it. Therefore, the correct mathematical expression is:
n + 12
On the other hand, \( 12n \) means "12 times a number," which is a different concept entirely. The phrase refers to addition, not multiplication. So, in this context, \( n + 12 \) is the accurate expression.
