Question

X-9/2=12
X=?
Find what does x equal to.

Answer 1

The answer is 33.

Explanation:

1) Multiply both sides by 2.

`x - 9 = 12 * 2`

2) Simplify 12 × 2 to 24.

`x - 9 = 24`

3) Add 9 to both sides.

`x = 24 + 9`

4) Simplify 24 + 9 to 33.

`x = 33`

Hence, the answer is 33.

Answer 2

x = 33

Explanation:

cross-multiply:

x-9 = 2(12)

x-9 = 24

x = 33
