Hi there! :)

Answer:

x=94

*The answer must have a positive sign.*

Explanation:

Distributive property: a(b+c)=ab+ac

First, you switch sides of an equation.


x-12=82

Then, you add by 12 from both sides of an equation.


x-12+12=82+12

You add by the numbers from left to right.


82+12=94

Final answer is x=94

Hope this helps!

Have a nice day! :)

:D
