1. 2(x+12)=20

2. -4x-2=10

Answer 1

1. x=-2

2. X=-3

Explanation:

1. 2(X+12)

2x+24=20

2x= -4

x= -2

2. -4x-2=10

-4x=12

x=-3

Answer 2

Answers are below :)

Explanation:

Q1- Divide both sides by 2

x +12 = 20/2

Simplify 20/2 to 10

x + 12 =10

Subtract 12 from both sides

x = 10 - 12

Simplify 10 - 12 to -2

x = -2

Q2. Add 2 to both sides

-4x = 10 + 2

Simplify 10 + 2 to 12

-4x=12

Divide both sides by -4

x = -12/4

Simplify 12/4 to 3

x = -3
