Question

What is the value of x in 12 ( x + 10 ) = 24

also explain

Answer 1

`\sf \: x = - 8`

Explanation:

Given equation,

→ 12(x + 10) = 24

Now the value of x will be,

→ 12(x + 10) = 24

→ 12(x) + 12(10) = 24

→ 12x + 120 = 24

→ 12x = 24 - 120

→ 12x = -96

→ x = -96 ÷ 12

→ [ x = -8 ]

Hence, the value of x is -8.

Answer 2

Answer: x = -8

Explanation:

12 ( x + 10 ) = 24

First we divide the two sides of the exercise by 12.

`\boldsymbol{\sf{x+10=(24)/(12) }}`

We divide 24 by 12..

x + 10 = 2

Subtract 10 from both sides.

x = 2 - 10

Subtract 10 from 2 to get. Since the number 10 is greater than 2, the result will be negative.

x = -8
