Question

3x-12+10=8-2x what does x equal?

Answer 1

3x-12+10=8-2x
1.) add -2x to each side

5x-12+10=8
5x -2=8
Add 2 to each side

5x =10
Divide each side by 5
So
X =2

Answer 2

X=2 because first you have to combine like terms. Than you have to bring the Varible on one side. Finally you solve for the Varible and you get the answer2.
