Answer:
2(2-x)+12x=44
4-2x+12x=44
-4 -4
-2x +12x = 40
10x=40
/10 /10
x=4
Explanation:
first you multiply the (2-x) by 2, you then subtract the 4 from both sides of the equation, you end up with -2x +12x = 40. Then subtract the 2x from the 12x and you end up with 10x. so now 10x=40. You then divide both sides by 10 and end up with x=10
sorry im not to good at explaining haha
