Question

12-2x=-2(y-x), solve for x

Answer 1

Solve: 12 - 2x = -2(y - x)

Steps:

1. Expand -2(y - x): -2y + 2x

12 - 2x = -2y + 2x

2. Then subtract 12 from both sides

12 - 12 - 2x = -2y + 2x - 12

3. Simplify,

-2x = -2y + 2x - 12

4. Then, subtract 2x from both sides

-2x - 2x = -2y + 2x - 2x - 12

5. Simplify,

-4x = -2y - 12

6. Then, divide both sides by -4

-4x/-4 = -2y/-4 - 12/-4

7. Simplify,

x = 1/2y + 3 <======= Answer
