Question

Amy and Stephanie were playing a number game. Amy picked a number and told Stephanie that if she added 8 to the number and multiplied the sum by 4, it would equal 12. Which equation could Stephanie use to find the number, x?
A.
4 + (x + 8) = 12

B.
4(x) + 8 = 12

C.
4(x + 8) = 12

D.
8(x + 4) = 12

Answer 1

C. 4(x + 8) = 12

Explanation: "Add 8 to the number" gives (x + 8), and "multiply the sum by 4" gives 4(x + 8), which equals 12.
