^n C_r = ((n!)/((n−r)!r!))  ^n C_(12)  =^n C_8  ⇒  ((n!)/((n−12)!12!)) = ((n!)/((n−8)!8!))   ⇒ (1/((n−12)!12!)) = (1/((n−8)!8!))  ⇒  (1/((n−12)!(12)(11)(10)(9))) = (1/((n−8)(n−9)(n−10)(n−11)(n−12)!))  ⇒ (1/(12(11)(10)(9))) = (1/((n−8)(n−9)(n−10)(n−11)))  12(11)(10)(9) = (n−8)(n−9)(n−10)(n−11)  ⇒ 12 = n−8 ⇔ n = 20

C_8 ^n =C_(12) ^n   ⇒n=8+12=20    note: C_r ^n =C_(n−r) ^n
$${C}_{\mathrm{8}} ^{{n}} ={C}_{\mathrm{12}} ^{{n}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{n}=\mathrm{8}+\mathrm{12}=\mathrm{20} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${note}:\:\boldsymbol{{C}}_{\boldsymbol{{r}}} ^{\boldsymbol{{n}}} =\boldsymbol{{C}}_{\boldsymbol{{n}}−\boldsymbol{{r}}} ^{\boldsymbol{{n}}} \\ $$

^(20) C_r  =^(20) C_(r+2)     ⇒  ((20!)/((20−r)!r!)) = ((20!)/((20−(r+1))!(r+2)!))  ⇒ (20−r)!r! = (19−r)!(r+2)(r+1)r!  ⇒ (20−r)! = (19−r)! (r + 2)(r+1)  ⇒ (20−r)(19−r)!= (19−r)!(r+2)(r+1)  (20−r) = (r + 2)(r + 1)   am sure you can take it from here

have you checked?  (20−r) = (r + 2)(r + 1) has no solution  for r∈N.    your calculation second line is wrong.  please recheck!

^(20) C_r  =^(20) C_(r+2)   ⇒r+(r+2)=20 ⇒r=9
$$\:^{\mathrm{20}} {C}_{{r}} \:=\:^{\mathrm{20}} {C}_{{r}+\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{r}+\left({r}+\mathrm{2}\right)=\mathrm{20}\:\Rightarrow{r}=\mathrm{9} \\ $$

^n P_4  =^n C_3  ×^n C_3    since ^n P_r  = ((n!)/((n−r)!))   ⇒ ^n P_4  = ((n!)/((n−4)!)) = ((n!)/((n−3)!3!)) × ((n!)/((n−3)!3!))  ⇒ (1/((n−4)!)) = ((n(n−1)(n−2)(n−3)!)/((n−3)(n−4)!)) × (1/((n−3)!3!))  ⇒ 1 = ((n(n−1)(n−2))/(6(n−3)))        6(n−3) = n(n−1)(n−2)  at this point i believe to get n will be easy  note that n∈ N

but have you checked?  6(n−3) = n(n−1)(n−2) has no  solution for n∈N!    this line is wrong:  ⇒ (1/((n−4)!)) = ((n(n−1)(n−2)(n−3)!)/((n−3)(n−4)!)) × (1/((n−3)!3!))  please recheck!
