8 times the difference between a number and 6 is equal to 4 times the number. What is the number?
OA. 12
OB. 4
OC. 16
OD. 48

it's either A (12) or B(4) but I think it's 12

Step-by-step explanation:

if we make it into an equation, we get

8(x-6)=4x

8x-48=4x

-48=-4x

-12=-x

x=12

the reason why it might be 4 as well is if we switch the order

8(6-x)=4x

48-8x=4x

48=12x

x=4

So both of those could be correct, but I'm thinking that because they said between a number and 6, then x goes first, so therefore, I think it is 12

answer:  

step-by-step explanation:

here x represents the height of the pole,

and, the height of the shadow of the pole is 12 feet.

also, the angle of elevation from the top of the pole is 40°,

therefore,

by the low of sine,

which is the required equation for finding the value of x,
