Answer:
(x - 5) - 8 = 12
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets portion each part out:
Eight less than
The difference of a number and five
Is twelve.
First, we must write down the portion with "a number" in it: x - 5. We use subtraction because the sentence states "the difference".
Next, we will write down "eight less than". The problem states that twelve is "eight less than" the difference. This means that we must subtract 8 from out first part: (x - 5) - 8
Finally, the sentence tells us that this equals twelve: (x - 5) - 8 = 12

Answer:
72
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the number of candies = n
Tracy ate = 1/3 of n = n/3 remaining 2n / 3
she gave 1/4 of the remainder to her friend = 1/4 of ( n - n/3) = 2n / 12
the new remainder = (2n / 3) - (2n / 12) = n /2
she and her mom then ate altogether = 30
and the brother took from 1 to five, the number he took = x
and she has 3 left
( n/2) - 30 - x = 3
n = 2 ( 33 + x)
now we know that the candies could not be broken and x is between 1 to 5
n = 2 (33 + 1), 2 (33+2), 2(33 +3), 2 (33+ 4) and 2 (33 + 5) this are the possible values of n, ( 68, 70, 72, 74, 76) and the multiple of 3 is 72
n therefore = 72
