Question

5x – 2x = 12
How do I solve

Answer 1

4

Explanation:

Replace X with 4

(5*4)-(2*4) = 12

Answer 2

x =4

Explanation:

5x - 2x =12 (Subtract 5x - 2x and you'll get 3x)

3x = 12 (Now divide by 3 from both sides to get x)

x = 12/3 (Now that you got x, you want to simplify)

x = 4 (12 divided by 3 is 4)
