Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
So if x is the number, then 4 times the number would be 4x and adding that to -8 would be 4x + (-8) and then 12 times the number would be 12x, so you have 4x + (-8) = 12.
Then, solve:
[tex]4x - 8 = 12x\\[/tex]
subtract 4x from both sides
[tex]-8 = 8x[/tex]
divide both sides by 8
[tex]-1 = x \\x = -1[/tex]
