Answer:

The answer is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Eight more than four times a certain number is written as

8 + 4x

12 less than eight times the number is written as

8x - 12

Equate them

We have

8 + 4x = 8x - 12

8x - 4x = 8 + 12

4x = 20

Divide both sides by 4

x = 5

Hope this helps you
