<span>2x - 12 = 14
Add 12 to both sides of the = sign to get rid of the "-12".
</span><span>2x - 12 <span>+ 12 </span>= 14 <span>+ 12</span>
2x = 26
Now divide both sides by 2 to isolate the x
</span><span>
2x / 2 = 26 / 2
x = 13.
The solution is x = 13.
Hope this helps!
Let me know if there's anything you're still confused about and I'll try to help you out.
Solving for x like this is definitely something you want to master and be able to do on your own, because you'll be doing it in future math.

Answer:
I think the answer is C. It's increasing 5 dollars each additional hour.
1/20 mile. divide 1/4 by 5 by fliping the division sign and 5. (1/4)(1/5)=1/20
Attached is a Venn diagram of your problem.
Knowing how many likes all three will help. You know that 10 students like all three.
Rock and Jazz only:
16 like rock and jazz while 10 like all three. To get how many like jazz only, subtract 10 from 16.
16-10 = 6
Rock and Classical only:
13 like rock and classical while 10 like all three. To get how many like jazz only, subtract 10 from 13.
13-10 = 3
Jazz and classical only:
12 like jazz and classical while 10 like all three. To get how many like jazz only, subtract 10 from 12.
12-10 = 2
Now with that data you fill up the 4 intersecting areas. To get the outer, just remember that all areas within a circle should add up to the first assumption.
27 rock
24 classical
28 Jazz
All numbers in the rock circle should add up to 27.
All numbers in the classical circle should add up to 24.
All numbers in the Jazz circle should add up to 28.
Rock:
3+10+6+x = 27
19+x=27
x = 27-19
x= 8
Classical:
3+10+2+x = 24
15 + x = 24
x = 24-15
x = 9
Jazz:
10+6+2+x = 28
18 + x = 28
x = 28 - 18
x = 10
In summary: 8 liked only Rock, 9 liked only Classical, 10 liked only Jazz.
