Help please
Solve the equation:
2x + 6-12 = 26

Answer 1

x=16

Explanation:

• 2x+6-12=26
• 2x-6=26
• 2x=26+6
• 2x=32, divide both sides by 2
• x=16

Answer 2

x = 16

Explanation:

Solve the equation:

2x + 6-12 = 26

2x = 26 - 6 + 12

2x = 20 + 12

2x = 32

x = 32 : 2

x = 16

--------------------------------

check

2 * 16 + 6 - 12 = 26

32 + 6 - 12 = 26

38 - 12 = 26

26 = 26

the answer is good
