Answer:

x=8

Explanation:−4=12−2x

−4=12−2xSwap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

−4=12−2xSwap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.12−2x=−4

−4=12−2xSwap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.12−2x=−4Subtract 12 from both sides.

−4=12−2xSwap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.12−2x=−4Subtract 12 from both sides.−2x=−4−12

−4=12−2xSwap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.12−2x=−4Subtract 12 from both sides.−2x=−4−12Subtract 12 from −4 to get −16.

−4=12−2xSwap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.12−2x=−4Subtract 12 from both sides.−2x=−4−12Subtract 12 from −4 to get −16.−2x=−16

−4=12−2xSwap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.12−2x=−4Subtract 12 from both sides.−2x=−4−12Subtract 12 from −4 to get −16.−2x=−16Divide both sides by −2.

−4=12−2xSwap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.12−2x=−4Subtract 12 from both sides.−2x=−4−12Subtract 12 from −4 to get −16.−2x=−16Divide both sides by −2.x=−16÷-2

Divide −16 by −2 to get 8.

Divide −16 by −2 to get 8.x=8

Answer:

x=8

Explanation:

-4 = 12 - 2x

when plus 12 goes to the left hand side it changes its sign so,

-4 -12 = -2x

- * - is plus so add 4 and 12 but keep the sign - because 12 is the greatest number and its sign is -

-16=-2x

when -2 comes to the left hand side it changes its from multiplication to division.So,

-16/-2=x

8=x

we will get positive 8 because minus and minus also gets cancel.
