Answer 2

x=2

Explanation:

implifying

12x + 8 = 32

Reorder the terms:

8 + 12x = 32

Solving

8 + 12x = 32

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-8' to each side of the equation.

8 + -8 + 12x = 32 + -8

Combine like terms: 8 + -8 = 0

0 + 12x = 32 + -8

12x = 32 + -8

Combine like terms: 32 + -8 = 24

12x = 24

Divide each side by '12'.

x = 2

Simplifying

x = 2
