Which is the correct translation of the sentence into an equation?

Four less than a number is 12.

A: n-12=4
B: n-4=12
C: 4-n=12
D: 12-n=4

C: n-4= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand why this answer is correct, lets break down the sentence.

Four less = The part "than a number" can be represented as n as in math, unknown numbers are variables in order to isolate them to and figure out their values. "is 12" will represent the sum of the equation as the sentence is clarifying that that 4 minus the variable n is equal to 12.

Revised n-4=12 is actually the answer as n can be any quantity, and n -4 =12 literally means n + (-4) = 12.
