Question

Which value for x makes the following number sentence true? 12x = 6x + 24

Answer 1

To solve this, first subtract 6x from both sides.

That is because there cannot be the same variable on both sides of the equation. The new equation would be:

6x=24

Now divide by both sides of the equation by 6

x=4
