Question

2X-12=X+2
Find the value of x using addition.

Answer 1

Answer: x = 14

Explanation:

Given equation:

`\sf{2x-12=x+2}`

Add 12 to both sides

`\sf{2x=x+2+12}`

`\sf{2x=x+14}`

Subtract x from both sides.

`\sf{2x-x=14}`

`\sf{x=14}`

Answer 2

Hello!

Answer:

`\Large \boxed{\sf x=14}`

Explanation:

→ We want to solve this equation:

`\sf 2x-12=x+2`

◼ Add 12 to both sides:

`\sf 2x-12+12=x+2+12`

◼ Simplify both sides:

`\sf 2x=x+14`

◼ Subtract x from both sides:

`\sf 2x-x=x+14-x`

◼ Simplify both sides:

`\boxed{\sf x=14}`

Conclusion:

The solution of the equation 2x - 12 = x + 2 is 14.
