Answer:
The number is 4 .
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
When 12 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 4 times the number.
Now, to find the solution:
Let the number be [tex]x[/tex].
So, according to question when 12 is subtracted from the square of a number, the result is 4 times the number:
[tex]x^2-12=4[/tex]
Adding both sides by 12 we get:
[tex]x^2=16[/tex]
Using square root on both sides we get:
[tex]x=4[/tex]
Therefore, the number is 4.
