You add or subtract it for instance: 14x+258-52. You have to subtract 52 from 258 because of the symbol (-) in front of it. Since there is no other numbers with variables 14x is left alone. Hope this helps
There is nothing that multiplies to 12 and adds to 4.
2x-5=95 due to the alternate interior angles thm so you just add 5 to 95 to get 2x=100 then divide by 2 to get x=50!
