Question

This is also seventh grade math and I need the value of X again please... 12(x+10)=24?

Answer 1

Answer: x = -8

Step-by-step explanation: To solve for x in this equation, our first task is to simplify the left side by distributing the 12 through both terms inside the parentheses.

When we do that, we get 12 times x which is

12x and 12 times 10 which is 120.

So we have 12x + 120 = 24.

Our next task is to isolate the x term by subtracting 120 from both sides of the equation. On the left, 120 - 120 cancels and we're left with 12x. On the right, 24 - 120 simplifies to -96 so we have 12x = -96.

To get x by itself, we divide both sides by 12 and x = -8.
