Hi :)

x= 10

Divide both sides by 2
x−4 = 12/2

Divide 12 by 2 to get 6
x−4=6

Add 4 to both sides
x=6+4

Add 6 and 4 to get 10
x=10

Hope this helps :)

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

2(x−4)=12

Distribute the 2

2x - 8 = 12

Now add 8 to both sides to neutralize -8

2x = 20

now divide

x = 10

The lengths of three

True [87]

Answer:

90 cm, 180 cm, 240 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the lengths of sides of the triangle be 3x, 6x and 8x

$\therefore \: 3x + 6x + 8x = 5.1 \: m \\ \therefore \: 17x = 510 \: cm \\ \therefore \: x = \frac{510}{17} \\ \therefore \:x = 30 \: cm \\ \implies \\ 3x = 3 \times 30 = 90 \: cm \\ 6x = 6 \times 30 = 180 \: cm \\ 8x = 8 \times 30 = 240 \: cm$
