Question

If 4x + 12 = 76, then x =

Answer 1

x = 16

Explanation:

4x+12=76

Step 1: Subtract 12 from both sides.

4x + 12 - 12 = 76 - 12

4x = 64

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

`(4x)/(4) = (64)/(4)`

x = 16

Answer 2

x = 16

Explanation:

subtract 12 from both sides to isolate the variable and its coefficient

4x = 64

divide both sides by 4 to get x

x = 16
