Question 1

Which scenario could be modeled by the equation 2x+12=40

Question 2

$\huge\text{Hey there!}$

$\large\textsf{2x + 12 = 40}$

$\large\text{SUBTRACT 12 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\large\textsf{2x + 12 - 12 = 40 - 12}$

$\large\text{CANCEL out: \textsf{12 - 12} because that gives you \textsf{0}}$

$\large\text{KEEP: \textsf{40 - 12} because that helps solve for \textsf{x}}$

$\large\textsf{40 - 12 = \bf 28}$

$\large\text{New EQUATION: \textsf{2x = 28}}$

$\large\text{DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES}$

$\mathsf{(2x)/(2)=(28)/(2)}$

$\large\text{CANCEL out: }\mathsf{(2)/(2)}\large\text{ because that gives you 1}$

$\large\text{KEEP: }\mathsf{(28)/(2)}\large\text{ because gives you the value of x}$

$\mathsf{x = (28)/(2)}$

$\boxed{\boxed{\large\textsf{Answer: \bf \huge x = 14}}}\huge\checkmark$

$\text{Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!}$
