Question

Find x: 3x − 14 + 6 − 4 − 2x =12 a)481 b)2 c)36 d)24

Answer 1

d

Explanation:

3x-14+6-4-2x=12

You move everything but the (x)s to the other side and combine like terms. Don't forget that when you move things over the equal sign the sign changes.

3x+6-4-2x=26

3x-4-2x=20

3x-2x=24

x=24

Answer 2

3x − 14 + 6 − 4 − 2x =12

3x − 2x-14 + 6 − 4 =12

3x − 2x-14 − 4+6 =12

3x − 2x-18+6 =12

3x − 2x-12 =12

x-12=12

x=24
