Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

Distribute the 1/2 on the left side to each term

1/2 * 10x + 1/2 * 4 = 12

Now multiplication first before addition on the left side.

5x + 2 = 12

Subtract 2 on both sides

5x = 10

Divide by 5 on both sides

x = 2

Check work

1/2(10(2) + 4) = 12

1/2(20 + 4) = 12

1/2 * 24 = 12

24/2 = 12 = 12
