Question

Solve for x: 2x + 4 - X=-3x + 12*
Your answer

Answer 1

x = 2

Explanation:

Solve for x:

2x + 4 - x = -3x + 12

Add 3x to both sides.

5x + 4 - x = 12

Combine like terms.

4x + 4 = 12

Subtract 4 from both sides.

4x = 8

Divide both sides by 4.

x = 2

Your final answer would be x = 2

Answer 2

x = 2

Explanation:

2x + 4 - x = -3x + 12

x + 4 = -3x + 12 ^ Combine like-terms

4x + 4 = 12 ^ Addition Property of Equality

4x = 8 ^ Subtraction Property of Equality

x = 2 ^ Division Property of Equality
