2x + 4 = 12
We're simply just trying to isolate x.
So, we must get x onto it's own side of the equal sign :)
Our first step is to subtract 4 from both sides.
2x + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4
Simplify.
2x = 8
Then, we divide both sides by 2.
2x ÷ 2 = 8 ÷ 2
Simplify.
x = 4
----------
To check your work, simply plug in the value of x into x in the original equation.
In this problem, x = 4, so plug in 4 for x.
2x + 4 = 12
2(4) + 4 = 12
Simplify.
8 + 4 = 12
12 = 12
Therefore, x = 4

This is the correct answer
5 : 8....added = 13
5/13(169) = 845/13 = 65 men

Answer:
answer = 21
Step-by-step explanation:
2n - 2 = 40
2n - 2 + 2 = 40 + 2
2n = 42
2n/2 = 42/2
n = 21
