Question

X+4-2=12 find the value of X

Answer 1

`X=10`

Explanation:

Given:
`X+4-2=12`

To complete this problem, we need to isolate X

First, we need to do 4-2

`X+2=12`

Now that we have this, we can apply the golden rule of algebra. This says what you do to one side, you do to the other.

To move 2 to the other side, we subtract it from both sides

`X+2-2=12-2`

This equation above gives us this equation

`X=10`

Answer 2

X=10

Explanation:

10+4=14

14-2 =12

Therefore x equals 10
