Answer:
B.
Step-by-step explanation:
Use elimination, or you can plug the answer choices into the eguations. Plugging in the answer choices does take a while though. If you don't know how to do elimination then basically you try to make one of the three values equal to the other in the opposite equation. MAKE SURE TO DO THE FACTOR FOR ALL OF THE VALUES IN THE EQUATION. once you solved it, you then plug in the value back into one of the equations and you find the other value.
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! :)
