12x+2=26

Answer 1

`\large{ \tt{❃ \: STEP-BY-STEP \: EXPLANATION}} :`

`\large{ \tt{❁ \: ORIGINAL \: PROBLEM : 12x + 2 = 26}}`

• We want to remove the 2 first. Since the original equation is + 2 , we're gonna use the opposite operation and subtract 2 form both sides.

`\large{ \tt{↦ \: 12x + 2 - 2 = 26 - 2}}`

• Simplify! 2 - 2 = 0 on the left and 26 - 2 = 24 on the right.

`\large{ \tt{↦ \:12x = 24}}`

• Then we need to think about how to remove the coefficient 12 . Since the opposite of multiplication is division , we're going to divide both sides by 12.

`\large{ \tt{ ↦ \: (12x)/(12) = (24)/(12)}}`

• Simplify. 12/ 12 = 1 on the left and 24 / 12 = 2 on the right. So our answer is x = 2 .

`\boxed{ \boxed{ \large{ \tt{↦x = 2}}}} \large✓`
