Solve for x. 3x - 5 = (12 + 4x)/(2) x = [?]​

Question

Solve for x.


`3x - 5 = (12 + 4x)/(2)`

x = [?]​

Answer 1

6x-10=12+4x
6x-4x=12+10
2x=22
X=11

Answer 2

x= 11

Explanation:

`3x - 5 = (12 + 4x)/(2)`

Multiply both sides by 2:

2(3x -5)= 12 +4x

Expand:

2(3x) +2(-5)= 12 +4x

6x -10= 12 +4x

Bring all x terms to 1 side, constant to the other:

6x -4x= 10 +12

2x= 22

Divide by 2 on both sides:

x= 22 ÷2

x= 11
