    A. 12

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the number be A

    8 x (A - 6) = 4 x A

    Expand the left side

    8 x A - 8 x 6 = 4A

    8A - 48 = 4A

    Add 48 to both sides

    8A - 48 + 48 = 4A + 48

    8A = 4A + 48

    Subtract 4A from both sides

    8A - 4A = 4A - 4A + 48

    4A = 48

    Divide both sides by 4

    A = 48/4

    A = 12
