Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify. First, combine like terms:

3x - x + 2 = 12

(3x - x) + 2 = 12

(2x) + 2 = 12

2x + 2 = 12

Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.

& is your order of operation.

First, subtract 2 from both sides:

2x + 2 (-2) = 12 (-2)

2x = 12 - 2

2x = 10

Next, divide 2 from both sides:

(2x)/2 = (10)/2

x = 10/2

x = 5

5 is your answer for x.

Check: Plug in 5 for x in the equation. Solve:

3(5) - (5) + 2 = 12

15 - 5 + 2 = 12

10 + 2 = 12

12 = 12 (True)
