Question

What has the same solution of 3x-12=24

Answer 1

x=12

Explanation:

3 times 12 is 36

36 minus 12 is 24

Answer 2

12 + 3x = 24

Explanation:

Simplifying

3x + 12 = 24

Reorder the terms:

12 + 3x = 24

Solving

12 + 3x = 24

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-12' to each side of the equation.

12 + -12 + 3x = 24 + -12

Combine like terms: 12 + -12 = 0

0 + 3x = 24 + -12

3x = 24 + -12

Combine like terms: 24 + -12 = 12

3x = 12

Divide each side by '3'.

x = 4

Simplifying

x = 4
