Question

Solve for x: x - 12 = 4

Answer 1

↔ x = 16

Step-by-step explanation: We're asked to solve the following equation

`\longrightarrow\quad\sf{x-12=4}`

To solve an equation, you should focus on isolating the variable, which in this case is x. To isolate our x, we will add 12 to both sides:

`\longrightarrow\quad\sf{x=4+12}`

`\longrightarrow\quad\sf{x=16}`

Therefore, the solution to this equation is x = 16.

Answer 2

• x = 16

Explanation:

Given,

We are given with an equation that is x - 12 = 4.

To Find,

We have to find the value of x

Solution:

`\longmapsto \: \: \: \sf{x - 12 = 4}`

For finding value of x , we need to isolate x. Therefore , adding 12 on both sides :

`\longmapsto \: \: \: \sf{x - \cancel{ 12} + \cancel{ 1 2}= 4 + 12}`

We get ,

`\longmapsto \: \: \: \underline{ \boxed{ \sf{ \bold{x = 16}}}}`

• Therefore , value of x is "16"

Verification :-

→ x - 12 = 4 ( Given Equation )

For verifying our answer , we are substituting value of x as 16 and if our answer is correct Left hand side must be equal to Right hand side :

→ 16 - 12 = 4

→ 4 = 4

→ LHS = RHS

→ Hence, Verified.

• Therefore , value of x is correct
