Question

What does x equal
3х – 4 = 8 + 2х

Answer 1

Answer: x = 12

Explanation:

First, we have to add 4 on both sides of the equation to combine like terms:

3х – 4 (+4) = 8 (+4) + 2х

3x = 12 + 2x

Now we subtract 2x on both sides of the equation, which leaves x by itself:

3x (-2x) = 12 + 2x (-2x)

x = 12
