Dr. Cortez spent 30 minutes driving from home to Seaview Hospital. This was 12 minutes less than twice the time it took him to drive home. How long did it take him to drive home? Show all 5 steps

1. 30 = 2x-12

2. 30 + 12 = 2x

3. 42 = 2x

4. 42/2 = x

5. x = 21

It took him 21 minute to drive home.
