Answer:

12

Step-by-step equation:

2x + 8 = 3x - 4

2x = 3x - 4 - 8

2x = 3x - 12

2x - 3x = -12

-1x = -12

x = -12 / -1

x = 12



Proof:

2(12) + 8 = 3(12) - 4

24 + 8 = 3(12) - 4

24 + 8 = 36 - 4

32 = 36 - 5

32 = 32 → both sides of the equation are equal, our answer is correct






Hope it helped,

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 8 = 3x - 4

In order to solve for x, we must isolate x. We can do this by moving all of the numbers with "x" in it to the left side of the equal side, and move everything else to the right of it!

Let's start off by subtracting 8 from both sides. Remember : what you do to one side, you must do it to the other.

2x + 8 - 8 = 3x - 4 - 8

Simplify!

2x = 3x - 12

Now, let's subtract 3x from both sides.

2x - 3x = 3x - 12 - 3x

Simplify!

-x = -12

Divide both sides by -1.

-x ÷ -1 = -12 ÷ -1

Simplify.

x = 12

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

c,-0.45 ,

e. 1.16

g. 5/3

h. √2

Cannot be probability.

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability of any occurrence is always in the interval of 0 to 1. 0 and 1 inclusive.

0≤P(A)≤1

Any value outside this boundaries cannot be probability.

Therefore, -0.45,1.16,5/3 and √2 cannot be probability.
