Dana Brooks · Answer 1

4x8-12=m

4 trays x each containing 8 muffins - 12 muffins (giving away)

Adriel Cannon · Answer 2

Answer: 4x8-12=m; m=20

Step-by-step explanation: The 4 represents the trays of muffins so if you multiply that times the number of muffins per tray you get the total amount of muffins. Using that if you subtract it by the amount given away m would equal 20
