Question

Solve for x: 12x + 10 = 13x + 8

the answer are
5
4
3
2

Answer 1

The answer is 2

Explanation:

I first subtract 10 from both sides:

12x+10-10=13x+8-10

Then Simplify:

12x=13x-2

Subtract 13x from both sides:

12x-13x=13x-2-13x

Simplify:

-x=-2

Divide both sides by -1 :

-x/-1 = -2/-1

Simplify and you get:

x = 2

Answer 2

2

Explanation:

12x +10 = 13x + 8

subtract 12x on both sides to be left with:

10 = x + 8

subtract 8 on both sides

which leaves you with x=2
