Answer:

number = x

(3x÷ 4) - 3 = 9

Use a common denominator 4: 3x - 12 = 36

3x = 48

x = 16

Does it fit the original equation?

[(3 x 16) ÷ 4] -3 = (48 ÷ 4) -3 = 12 - 3 = 9

Hope it helps

Answer:

d?

Step-by-step explanation:

well this is the answer that I think of

call the unknown number is x right?

so quotient of x and 4 is x/4

twelve less than the number is x - 12

so we have a simple equation : x/4 = x - 12

x = 4x -48 so x = 16, that is D?
