Hi!

The guess and check method is where we fill in the values and check to see if it is correct. 

A. x = 6
2 · 6 + 8 = 6 · 6 - 12
Solve
12 + 8 = 36 - 12
20 = 24
Incorrect.

B. x = 4
2 · 4 + 8 = 6 · 4 - 12
Solve
8 + 8 = 24 - 12
16 = 12
Incorrect.

C. x = 3
2 · 3 + 8 = 6 · 3 - 12
Solve.
6 + 8 = 18 - 12
14 = 6
Incorrect.

D. x = 5
2 · 5 + 8 = 6 · 5 - 12
Solve.
10 + 8 = 30 - 12
18 = 18
Correct!

The answer is D. x = 5

Hope this helps! :)

How Can associative Property be used to mentally find 48+82?
Marizza181 [45]
Associative property of addition represents this equation:
a + b = b + a
So, how would it be helpful with this given equation?
=> 48 + 82
=> Let's start with the ones place value.
(2 + 8) = 10, bring down 0, carry 1 then ( 4 + 8) = 12 + 1 = 13
So the answer is 130.
If we are going to do it vice versa, still expect that the same answer will occur.

mezya [45]
\frac{2p}{9}+\frac{5p}{18}-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{2}{3}+\frac{p}{12}+\frac{1}{6}\ \ \ |Multiply\ by\ 36\\\\
4*2p+2*5p-5*6=12*2+3*p+6*1\\\\
8p+10p-30=24+3p+6\\\\
18p-30=3p+30\ \ \ |Subtract\ 3p\\\\
15p-30=30\ \ \ |Add\ 30\\\\
15p=60\ \ \ |Divide\ by\ 15\\\\
\boxed{p=4}
