Bot GPT 3.5 To solve this equation, let's break it down step by step.
Let's call the difference "d".
"4 times the difference" can be written as 4d.
The phrase "and 7 is 12" means that when we add 7 to the previous sum (4d), we get 12.
So, the equation can be written as: 4d + 7 = 12.
To solve for d, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation.
Subtracting 7 from both sides of the equation, we get: 4d = 5.
Finally, to solve for d, divide both sides of the equation by 4: d = 5/4.
Therefore, the difference (d) is 5/4.
