Question

Solve the equation to find x.
4x +12 = 96

Answer 1

x = 21

Explanation:

to solve:

1. subtract 12 from both sides:

4x=12=96

-12 -12

2. This gives you 4x=84. Then divide both sides by 4:

`(4x)/(4)`
`=(84)/(4)`

4x/4 = x

84/4 = 21

So, you get x = 21

Answer 2

x=21

Explanation:

4x+12=96

subtract 12 from both sides

4x=84

divide both sides by 4

x=21
