Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
5x-12=3x+20
plus 12 both sides
5x=3x+32
-3x both sides
2x=32
divide by 2 both sides
x=16
X = 42 and y = - 23 are the two numbers

Answer:
12a + 24 = 6(2a + 4) is the equivalent expressions
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the terms ; 4, 12a, 6, 2a, and 24
There are two terms with unknown = 12a and 2a
but 12a = 2a x 6 .........(1)
from the last term = 24 = 6 x 4 ...........(2)
add both equation 1 and 2 = 12a + 24
12a + 24 = 6(2a + 4) is the equivalent expressions .
to VERIFY; Use a = 2
substitute into the expression ; LHS = RHS
= 12(2) + 24 = 24 + 24 = 48 (LHS)
FOR RHS = 6(2a+4) = 6(2x2 + 4)
= 6(4+4) = 48
Hence LHS = RHS
