Question

12x over 2 -4=2(3x-2) step by step what is x

Answer 1

Hey there!!

Given:

... (12x/2)-4=2(3x-2)

The properties we will need to use:

• The distributive property
• Addition property of equality
• Subtraction property of equality
• Multiplication property of equality

Now, using the distribution property of :

... Now, after using the distributive property:

... (12x/2) - 4 = 6x - 4

...Now, using the addition property of equality:

... Adding 4 on both sides:

... 12x/2=6x-4+4

... 12x/2=6x

... Now, using the multiplication property of equality:

... Multiplying 2 on both sides:

... 12x=12x

Hence, this equation has infinite solutions.

Hope my answer helps!

Answer 2

12x/2 -4=6x-4

18x/2-4=-4

18x/2=4

18x=8

x=0.44444.....
