Twelve times the sum of a number and -8 is 48. What does n equal?
=============
IDK.
Is n "the number?"
---------------------
You should state that.
---
And:
Is it 12n + (-8) ?
Or 12*(n + (-8)) ?
-----------------------------
It's your job to state the problem clearly.
It's not our job to try to figure out what you might mean.
