Write an equation and solve: Four times a number, decreased by 4 is 8.(1 point) Responses 3 3 1 1 48 48 16
Let's call the number "x".
The equation for the given statement is:
4x - 4 = 8
To solve for x, we can add 4 to both sides of the equation:
4x = 8 + 4
4x = 12
Finally, we divide both sides by 4 to isolate x:
x = 12/4
x = 3
So, the solution is x = 3.
