Answer:

C: n-4= 12

Step-by-step explanation:

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

  • Four less = [tex]4-[/tex]
  • 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 Answer: n-4=12 is actually the answer as n can be any quantity, and n -4 =12 literally means n + (-4) = 12.
