Answer 1

Twelve would equal x

Answer 2

12

Explanation:

1) Substitute x into the equation

To substitute you would need to multiply the number before it by 2 (in other questions it would be the value told that is x)

• -3 x 2 = -6
• 2.5 x 2 = 5
• 8 x 2 = 16

2) Put the numbers you have worked out into the equation

-6 + 1.5 + 5 - 4.5 + 16

3) Work out the final equation

• -6 + 1.5 = -4.5
• -4.5 + 5 = 0.5
• 0.5 - 4.5 = -4

• -4 + 16 = 12

Hope this helps, have a great day!
