Question

The quotient of a number and twelve is the sum of eight and the number.


Answer: n/12=8+n

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

12(n/12 = 8 + n)

n = 96 + 12n

-11n = 96

n = -96/11

Answer 2

Answer:

-96/11 or -8 8/11

Step-by-step explanation:

For this, create an equation, x/12=x+8.

Any number without a denominator has a denominator of 1, so x/12=(x+8)/1.

Now, cross multiply to get 1*x=12(x+8).

Simplify that to x=12x+96.

Subtract 12x from both sides, and you have -11x=96.

Divide by -11, and x=-96/11.
