C. 5 is the correct answer
Answer:
x = -7
Step-by-step explanation:
The whole line is 12
the whole line is also x + 14 and x + 12
so make them equal:
x+14 + x +12 = 12
2x + 26 = 12 now subtract 26 from both sides
2x = - 14 now divide both sides by 2
x = -7
Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
5(x-2)=30
Distribute
5x- 10 = 30
Add 10 to each side
5x-10+10 = 30+10
5x= 40
Divide by 5
5x/5=40/5
x = 8
