Question

Solve for x
8 = 12x - 28

Answer 1

x=3

Explanation:

Add 28 to both sides

36=12x

divide by 12

x=3

Answer 2

x = 3

Explanation:

to evaluate for the value of x in the expression 8 = 12x - 28

we first combine the likely terms and then solve for x

solution

8 = 12x - 28

8 + 28 = 12x

36 =12x

divide both side by the coefficient of x

36/12 = 12x/12

3 = x

therefore x = 3

the value of x in the expression 8 = 12x - 28 is evaluated to be 3
