<span>Addition property of equality</span>
There are 2000 pounds in one ton, so to find the amount of pounds in a set amount of tons, all we need to do is multiply the amount of tons by the amount of pounds in one ton.
12 * 2000 = 24000
There are 24,000 lbs in 12 tons.
Hope that helped! =)
5 - 2x=-9
to start, you must isolate the variable. you would subtract 5 from both sides of the eqauation:
-2x = -14
next you must get rid of that -2 so you would divide each side by -2:
x= 7
