Answer:

x = 2 or just 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 7 + x - 3

x + x = 2x

-7 + (-3) = -10

2x - 10

--------------------

x + x + 12

x + x = 2x

you dont change 12, you keep it the same.

--------------------------------------------------------------

2x - 10 + 2x + 12

2x + 2x = 4x

-10 + 12 = 2

12 is greater so it is positive.

-----------------------------------------

2 + 4x

you have to get rid of the 4 so divide on both sides of the equation.

4x/4 = x

when you divide a number by the same number, it cancels itself out so then

4x is just left with x.

4/2 = 2

so [x = 2]

I assume you are being asked to solve these equations.  Since there wasn't an explanation as to how you are expected to solve them, I chose to demonstrate how to use a calculator matrix function. You can find matrix calculators online.  My instructions are for a TI-84
Push the blue 2nd button then push x^-1 button (it says matrix above this button in blue)
Arrow over to edit to change the dimensions of the matrix and to put in your values.  You have 3 equations (3 rows) and 4 terms (4 columns) so you put a 3x4 in for the dimension and the coefficients (see images).
You use the rref option in the math column in matrix to calculate the answer. 
The numbers at the end are the solutions. x = -4, y = 2, z = -1

What is the product in lowest terms?
brilliants [131]
C 
because you would take 3/4 and multiply it by 3/3 to get the denominator to 12
and you would multiply 1/3 by 4/4 again to get the denominator to 12.
You are getting the denominator to 12 because 12 is 3 and 4s Most Common multiple!
Now that you have multiplied them you should have 9/12 and 4/12 
Then you subtract 4 from 9 to get 5.
So the answer is 5/12!
