Oh, this one lol. ok
you gotta read it like its a book.
4 x s(i picked that variable) which is 4s together
4s+12 (if they said'12 less than' then the 12 gotta be adding.)
then u have to divide it so its going to look like this:
4s+12= blah blah blah
'twice the greater number' means you gotta do this: 2(s+2)
so the problem is this: 4s+12=2(s+2)
now you solved it and the answer will beeeeee s=-4
5600 is number 23 helps it helps
<span><span>x = x^2 - 30
or
x^2 - x - 30 = 0
Factors to
(x-6)(x+5) = 0
x = +6 is the positive number</span></span>
