Question

12x - 84 = 4x + 12. What does X equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the problem, you have to leave the x alone,

To do so, you have to add 84 on each side

12x = 4x + 96

Then, subtract 4x on each side,

8x = 96

Then divide each side by 8, so

x = 12

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

12x - 84 = 4x + 12

We want to move x to one side and all other values to the other side of the equal sign

Add 84 to both sides of the equation

12x - 84 + 84 = 4x + 12 + 84

Simplify

12x = 4x + 96

Subtract 4x from both sides

12x - 4x = 4x - 4x + 96

Simplify

8x = 96

Divide both sides by 8

8x /8 = 96/8

Simplify

x = 12
