Write an equation and solve: Four times a number, decreased by 4 is 8.(1 point) Responses 3 3 1 1 48 48 16 16

Answer 1

Let's call the number "x". The equation would be:
4x - 4 = 8

To solve for x, we can add 4 to both sides of the equation:
4x - 4 + 4 = 8 + 4
4x = 12

Then we divide both sides of the equation by 4:
4x/4 = 12/4
x = 3

So the answer is x = 3.
