Answer:
x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, x. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other.
Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS =
Parenthesis
Exponents (& Roots)
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
First, add 14 to both sides:
12x - 14 = -2
12x - 14 (+14) = -2 (+14)
12x = -2 + 14
12x = 12
Next, divide 12 from both sides:
(12x)/12 = (12)/12
x = 12/12
x = 1
x = 1 is your answer.
