Answer:

x = 2

Explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

12x+10=54−10x

12x+10=54+−10x

12x+10=−10x+54

Step 2: Add 10x to both sides.

12x+10+10x=−10x+54+10x

22x+10=54

Step 3: Subtract 10 from both sides.

22x+10−10=54−10

22x=44

Step 4: Divide both sides by 22.

22x/22 = 44/22

x = 2

Answer: 2

Explanation:

Add 10x to both sides to get rid of it on the right side:


22x+10=54

Subtract 10 from both sides to get rid of it on the left side:


22x=44

Divide 22 from both sides to get rid of it on the left side and x by itself:


x=2
